Following the advice someone gave in the slow gigabit lan thread, I decided to fire up iPerf and see what numbers it came up with.

Wireless client (128bit WEP) - wired host gave me 20-22 Mbps. Is this good? If not what should I be aiming for? I was shocked at how much difference connecting to the wirless router rather than my AP made, connected to the router left me down in the low teens!

Wireless - Wireless was predictably pretty awful.

Having trawled the Sticky for this info i came across the fact that short preamble gives better throughput, so that is my next thing to tinker with.

22 isn't bad, but it could be better, WEP will slow down the connection because of extra overheads etc, but standard G isn't going to go over 30 any way tbh.

Try removing any unneeded protocols from the connection.
