I'm just theorising Adam - it could be that the indicator of the wireless signal strength is 'lying' to you. Have you tried a few tests copying large files, between 350meg to 1.4gig ?
You'd want to watch the process and see if it slows or hangs at any point... My thought is the signal strength may not be a good indicator of the sustained bandwidth. Someone with more experience than me may wish to debunk that idea. :) Cheers, Tobes.
