Halved? That made me do a double take, until I remembered your connection to the WWW was a DSL.

I have the cheapest cable they sell at RCN. It's 5 Mbps. Just enuff..
Well it is only halved if you have 3 nodes. I only have 2.
I would be using Bridged mode, but then I loose all WAN functionality on my router. In my situation I don't loose any performance vs bridged, now if I added another hop over the same radio . . . . . .

My uncle rocks double and triple hops over WDS huge performance hit (22 meg cable), but it works so . . . .
