I usually use Intel devices (5100 or 5300) as clients for my tests. However, be aware that wifi tests are never really accurate due to the nature of the wireless media. And also the rate control interaction with rt2x00 is not yet perfect, this might be why you sometimes see these big throughput differences. I've got a few more patches to improve that but they are not ready for upstream proposal yet. Thanks for testing again!
