Thats exactly right and that is exactly what I said. Let me explain it to you, of which you are already aware:

Since I'm in a contention area I am receiving interference from other wifi devices using the frequencies.
Since its all half-duplex and one broadcast domain, I cant transmit or receive unless the air is clear for the set time limits.

Companies claim such and such awesome bandwidth/thoroughput but its all a marketing scam (its even the same thing on wired devices).
Actual real speeds are subject to different conditions. I want to find out what my actual real speeds are like given my good area.
I'm sure there is a way, just thought you'd have a quick suggestion (maybe even a MikroTik product/solution. Maybe already built into RouterOS. thanks
