Possibly. The two issues with wireless is that it is a hub like network and
that the system has to figure out a lot of noise (everthing from
microwaves, wireless phones to other AP's on the same or nearby frequencies
which intefere). Also depending on the antenae setup it is going to be both
sending and recieving from the same post which brings in other latencies.
Since most traffic is 'streaming' then the hardware is going to be oriented
on making download latencies the lowest and upload latencies not as much a
problem. If he gets the same profile on the wired side as the wireless side
then it is more of an indicator of software/hardware issues which might be
fixable. On the wireless side there is a TON of stuff you have to clean out
from any tests to make sure the results are 'valid' (to some degree of
valid).
