Hmm, there are anecdotal evidence that pid works better than minstrel for mac80211-based drivers when the AP is a bit weak. Minstrel is the default from 2.6.30(31?) onwards, but you can choose pid with a module parameter in modprobe.conf - see if that helps. The details are in two bug reports on

I suspect it is just poor hardware. The more power-drawing devices you have got, the current/power available to each can drop, and some devices are more sensitive to drop in voltage than others. That seems to be the obvious conclusion - the more bus-powered devices plugged in, the more likely th
