Wireless woes (WDS+throttling?)

musanman

So this is my setup:

roadrunner "extreme" 30mbps modem
linksys wrt-g router with DD-WRT v23 running a WDS
airport express connecting via WDS (xbox hooked up to express)

Recently I've noticed my network isn't super great. I'm supposed to be getting 32 kbps and when I connect to my wireless express bridge (which I usually do just for the signal strength) I get about 8. If I connect straight to the linksys router I can get about 15. These are both g devices, so what gives?

It seems the airport is one of my major contributors, but there aren't a whole lot of options on the way that device connects. Also when I plug straight into the modem I can get my 30kbps so it's not my connection with time warner.

If I remember correctly, devices that connect to a network using the Wireless Distribution system are halved on the other side. So your Airport shouldn't be pushing more than half the signal speed of the original signal.

This is based off of info from a Linksys Range Expander.
