I have a 3 Mbps Cable Modem connection from Comcast. When I am wired
over 100 Mbps Ethernet, I am able to see close to 3 Mbps of throughput
running a variety of the DSL speed test software on web sites.

When I switch over to a wireless connection (PC Wireless to Linksys WAP
11. Linksys WAP 11 to Cable Modem) my throughput drops to about
600kbps. While I expect some degradation, dropping down to 600K seems
to be an excessive drop.

Is that what I should expect in terms of performance degradation or is
there something else going on with my network

Config Info:
Linkys WAP 11 Access Point ver 1.1 firmware rev 1.4f. Compaq Evo N610C
laptop with W200 wirless lan NIC and running Windows XP
