Crappy Wireless Utilization

I have an Innoprocomm (Company got eaten) wireless card and it is serving as a peer to peer wireless point.

I can't get the utilization beyond 50%. This is transfering a large amount of files to multiple machines.

I don't think its a disk/processor problem on either side.
The connection gets Excellent reception between the machines.
The Innopro is a B and the clients are Gs but it goes at 11mb.

It really pisses me off that the utilization never goes about 50%. I've never had this problem for wired computers.

Is it supposed to be like that?

Thanks wireless gurus.
 
yes, it is supposed to be like that. wireless is a half duplex technology and utilizing the whole data rate is next to impossible.
 
That makes sense. I'm just surprised how low the threshold was. I thought ethernet was 80% or perhaps it was 60%. Well thanks for clearing things up.
 
regular half-duplex ethernet tops out at about 30-40% utilization. It's half-duplex that kills it.

today's full-duplex ethernet tops out around 95-98%.
