If you have a 100 meg ethernet port and your wireless link can hold say 50 megs, you're going to have 50 megs of traffic going across it.
I'm not sure if the Ubnt radios would be accessible in this situation but the RF end of things would be totally hammered full. Just take a 5 port switch, plug the AP/SM into it and plug your laptop into a port. If you can manage to log into the radios, watch the throughput graphs.
