Insofar as throughput is concerned, APs work as hubs, not as switches, so
it's easy to see how 20 wireless clients on an 802.11b segment would appear
slow (11Mb / 20 stations < 512Kbps throughput per station). Without knowing
how many other stations were coming through that AP, it's hard to tell
where the bottleneck is. From what you report, however, it just sounds like
the AP needed to be reset yesterday.
Looking forward to seeing you in Denver, Jeffrey!
