Seems okay to me. My AP and several other clients are across the 
street, and I'm getting average ping times of 2.2ms. I can floodping
the AP for a few seconds with between 2% and 8% loss, ~400 packets 
per second, although this seems to vary with wind direction ;-)

Is there any other information you could use? Here's the {if,wi}config
output.
