Wireless clients can't do more than 200kbps. But on some others servers, wireless clients do 500 kbps... (ftp.ulaval.ca, winzip.com or winrar.de If I can remember correctly) Anyway, The problem is that I have 2 networks behind the firewall/NAT. Wired and wireless. If a wired client ask for a file on a fast server, I can do 500kbps... later on the same server with a wireless client, I just do 200kbps... If I fetch the same file directly from the server, I do 500kbps. But as I said earlier, on some servers, everyone are doing 500kbps on my clients (Wired/less). The bandwidth between the clients and the server is not the problem since I have tested wireless clients on the FreeBSD's ftp (and I get 600kbps down and ~550kbps up). Could this be fragmentation issues of my wireless packets on some routers on the Internet? (I just ask since I don't have a clue!) My wireless router on the diagram is assigned a static ip of 192.168.2.2 and just routes clients (192.168.2.[3-254] to the server and vice-versa). Its MTU is 1500. No wep enabled. I remember that I had the same problem while I created an AP directly on the FreeBSD machine some time ago... Thanks, Mike References 1. http://agora.ulaval.ca/~mgcou1/
