Single Wi-Fi User Can Slow Everyone at Access Point

A single user with a slow connection to a wireless network can significantly degrade the overall service to everyone using that wi-fi access station, new research shows.
Researchers from the Institut d'Informatique et Mathématiques Appliquées de Grenoble, part of France's CNRS, studied the performance of networks using the popular wi-fi standard 802.11b.
They found that if a single user's connection is slowed, perhaps because they are far from the access station, every user can suffer reduced data transfer speeds. "That computer may degrade the nominal bit rate," Duda told New Scientist.
