Just wondering, do the access points slow down to the lowest common denominator? or do they communicate with each client at the maximum speed he/she can acheive? I'd have thought that, as an AP acts like a hub/switch hybrid - with only one client able to talk at a time, that the AP would intelligently switch to ensure that clients on '11Mbit' would receive traffic in that modulation type, and clients far out, or with interference would receive the signal at whatever modulation they are on (~2?1Mbit?) Is this the case? or do the AP's operate on all clients at the worst clients speed? (I.e. one guy on 1Mbit is going to cause everyone to run at 1Mbit?).
 
Thanks
