I have an Atheros (D-link) card that says it's at 54M, but I rarely get
24M when going to other computers on the lan... usually about 11M.  Your
link quality seems better than mine.

If you notice, we have different signal levels (quality).

When I pasted this observation, I had

Link Quality=58/70  Signal level=-52 dBm

whereas you have 45/70 - yet you are still at 54 Mb/s

Currently, I switched to an external (usb) high power
(1000 mw) wifi adapter AWUS036H with a 20dBi antenna,
and look at what iwconfig wlan1 reports:


$ iwconfig wlan1
wlan1     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"Private"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.452 GHz Access Point: 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
          Bit Rate=18 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr=2346 B   Fragment thr=2346 B
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-37 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:1250   Missed beacon:0

I have 100% signal quality ( which is gauged by the strength of
received signal??? don't know!), and yet the rate is fixed at 18 Mb/s.
