It's really hard to tell because we're using the AirPoint indoor we don't have any measure of the signal strength received from the client. (HINT: this would be a nice feature to add. No fancy bar graphs required, just an RSSI and Signal Strength next to the MAC address in the Clients tab.)
So we suspect it's just a client issue.
