Without knowing any more details than that, just be aware that wireless
networks are half duplex by nature. When you plug into your switch
directly, you're most likely full duplex. If you are sending lots of
information this will account for it.
Also, being in the open, any wireless networks are susceptible to a variety
of interference which could cause retransmissions. As for the transmit
errors, I'd be a little more curious on this, because AFAIK once you start
sending your receive ability isn't there, so a wireless network doesn't
notice a late collision like hard-wired ethernet does. But perhaps that is
a counter of retranmission requests by the clients who didn't get what they
expected? *shrug*

Subject: Slightly OT - Strange Aironet AP behavior
Hi,
I have 5 aironet 1200 APs connected to a 3550 switch. We have a 10Mb metro
ethernet connection coming in to the location, but when I speed test the
network the APs will only top out at about 5mbs, and I am the only person
associated to the AP. When connected to the switch I get the full 10 MB. I
have also noticed a bunch of transmit errors on the radio interface . Anyone
have any ideas?
Thanks,
Boris
