I have 3 computers that all have Dlink G810 wireless bridges attached to their ethernet ports. They all talk to a Dlink G800AP access point that is connected to a Netgear 10/100 switch (where my Dlink 604 cable router is also connected). There's two more computers connected to the switch using cat5.
Here's the problem.
Copying large files from one of the wireless computers to one of the wired computers works great, very fast. However, copying large files between two wireless computers crawls (kbits/second as opposed to mbits/second with wireless-to-wired).
Now, I realize that in order to go from wireless to wireless, the data has to flow to the access point and then back to the other wireless computer, so I would expect less performance, but not from mbits/sec to kbits/sec!
What's going on here? Any clues on things I could try to fix it?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide.
