802.11g - good news and bad

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

OK, I found an 802.11g PCMCIA card with external connectors. The Proxim b/g combo cards have a MC connector for a pigtail. They are running the Atheros A5212 chipset. My problem is that I am only getting about 8 Mbps throughtput. I am only allowing G devices to associate but still it is not as fast as it should be. I choose 2.4 Ghz - G in the Band option. I don’t understand why my throughput sucks. Any help?

Thanks,

Steve

Yes, it is outdoors. The radios are all within 100 yards of the main radio and none of them get any better than 8 Mbps.
