The actual throughput transferring a 700MB file via sftp between my client and the AP doesn't go much over 50KB/s (according to sftp's progress meter). It used to be over 400KB/s under the same situation. The rate shown by
iwconfig is consistently 1Mb/s while manually setting it to 36/48Mb doesn't
change the throughput. (at the moment it is looking like it will take 4
hours to transfer, instead of the usual 20+ minutes).

how can I see what's wrong? (I have another few hours while it finishes, and of course, I can always try again...).
