Hi,

the 802.11n throughput of my unibody Macbook pro is very low compared to other 802.11n devices in my house.

I have two Airport Express basestation, that both connect to an Airport Extreme basestation. Both show a data rate of 270 and singnal to noise ratio of -24/-95.

However, the Macbook goes down to as low as 54 in the data rate, depending on where I put it. But the Macbook is always in close distance to one of the Airport Express devices, so shouldn't I see the same kind of data rate?

Is the Macbook throttling the WIFI component under certain circumstances?

Thanks
