There's a large transfer going to the desktop.  Just ACKs coming back to the laptop.  So I don't 
think queuing problems are it.

The question isn't how to fix transfers at my house.  It's a) is ~150kB/s too slow for wireless G 
(with one WAP and 2 wireless computers--I think it is), and b) is it because of a cheap WAP?

Fixing my transfer problem can wait but I want to bring a WAP to installfest that will work well 
with multiple users (as well as it can, never mind protocol limitations).  But maybe I'm worrying 
about nothing and whatever Linksys box Microcenter has will be fine.

Thanks!
