1200Kbit/s? or 1200 Kilobyte/s? - We get about 400 Kilobyte/s (400Kb/sec) throughput to our backlink. It'd be worth checking the smartbridge statistics, see if their is a high number of errors on the ethernet side. Also (I don't know if you can do this on SmartBridge AP's) you may have a statistic to show the number of retries the customer is experiencing - High retries will equate to low throughput. If they have got a high number of retries, check their signal strength they get back to the AP client-->AP, and finally, check for local 2.4 interference.
