I have an RB433 setup as an ap bridge at the 2.4 GHZ band, the frequency is at 2427. I have a R52hn radio card installed on the RB433. I have all the eth1, eth2, eth3 and wlan1 bridged together and there is no dhcp server setup, dhcp is coming from the eth1 which is connected to the backbone Gigabit LAN. I have 3 stations that connect to this ap within the same BSS. I can connect to the RB433 and see other stations and the network but I cannot get a good throughput on any station. I connect at around 54MBPS but, when I perform a throughput test I only ever get around 18MBPS. I am trying to setup this WLAN to avoid running more cat 5 cable to each station. Any suggestions to what I could be doing wrong or what more I should be doing. Thanks.

Its kind of normal to get this throughput if the radio is connected with 54mb but your computer is getting 18mb.

Watch the line, 802.11g - and look at the "Typical Downlink throughput" column.
