Ok, I understand. So, you were transfering data from one laptop to another. One laptop was associated to the 11a side of an AP and the other laptop was assoicated to the 11g side of the AP? So, why the slow throughput? Well, you are doing a wireless to wireless transfer. One wireless link can only give you 20Mbps, so when you are transferring from one to another, you should never see much more than that. To test what want (I think) you need three machines. Wire one of them to the AP. Make this the FTP server. Then, use the other two machines to pull the FTP, one on 11a and the other on 11g.

Does this help?

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
