There was a great recommendation for this HW a while back, .. and we
installed an Ultra5 for the site (5GHz, 100Mbps link).

It went into 'production' this week, but the throughput is not as shown on
the status page:

	Signal Strength -37 dBm
	Noise floor -89 dBm
	Transmit CCQ 99%
	TX/RX Rate 243 Mbps / 300 Mbps

Should be a screamer, right? Well, .. I downloaded a LAN speed test from
CNET, and it showed 4.8/5.0 Mbps on a file transfer!!!!

Granted, the clients & server are Windoze, but what could be the
explanation for the difference in wireless speed indication and
throughput??

	Thanks!
