OK, I got a situation and I can;'t figure it out, maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe law of physics are against me!
Lets say there is 2 access points in bridge mode. A cable a connected to the access point A, now at access point B, if I take a lan wire and connect directly to my laptop, I am getting 60Mbps download. No problem. Lets say I connect another access point(Access point C) to tht lan wire coming out of access point B. Now when I connect to access point C wirelessly, the speed in like 40Mbps! Now remember, the source coning to access point C is at 60Mbps, I would assume it should not loose THAT much speed.

scenerio A Good
Modem ---(65Mbps lan)---> Access point A <-------(Bridge Mode)---->Access POint B---->(lan wire 60mbps)--->laptop (60Mbps at laptop)

scenerio B (problem one)
Modem ---(65Mbps lan)---> Access point A <-------(Bridge Mode)---->Access POint B---->(lan wire 60mbos)----->Access point C-----(wirless or lan doesn't mater)--->laptop(37-40Mbps!)

To make sure access point C is not having any issue, I took a real long lan wire from the modem (its like 65Mpbs if I connect lapop directly to the cable modem) and just connect it to the access point C. Skipping the bridge altogether, and guess what? I got 60Mbps at access point C when I connect my laptop just like b4! I would understand if Access point B wa a repeater, but its not, it is providing 60Mbps to the lan, the only difference is lan is connected to access point C and boom we got issue.


sceneroi C Good
Modem ---(65Mbps)-------(really long lan wire)--> Access point C ----(lan or wirelss)---->laptop (60Mbps at laptop)

I wanna know why oh why scenerio B is not giving me speed? AM I even supposed to get 60Mbps (or close to it) theoretically or not?
