Slow wireless to wireless throughput.

I have a Cisco 857w router and two wireless client. The wireless network is not encrypted and is set to infrastructure mode. The wireless speed is set to speed basic 11 up to speed basic 54 inclusive.

Two two clients are in the same room and although the router is no more than 3 metres away but separated by a stud partition wall.

Each client is set to operate in 802.1b/g mode.

I am transferring a 3 gig file from each client and so far the transfer rate hasn't peaked above 1MB/sec.

What speeds should I be looking at getting or is this about right?

what speed they connecting at? You will always get awful throughput on wifi but it should be better than that. Cheap equipment is also likely to drop the connection in the middle of transferring a file that big.

Connected at 54Mbps, signal strength and signal quality is excellent on both clients.
