If I read this correct you have 3 stations connected to your ral. The 3 stations all share the teoretical 54Mbit which in reality realy is 22Mbit. You also have 2 11Mbit stations which mere presence can make the network switch down to 802.11b mode with 11Mbit teoretical 5Mbit real space. And then you have something else also on channel 11 that can be interfering with your transfers. Try another channel that is atleast two steps from 11. That is 9 and 13 should be ok but 10 and 12 is challenged by 11. (I think 13 is not valid in all parts of the world). Also try another client. I have had some real problems with Intel 2915ABG with both OpenBSD and Windows XP, strength was excellent but connection dropped, bitrot was bad and so on. And then of course wireless is wireless. I go cable whenever I can.
