Not only do you get packet loss from the original transmission, but then you also have increased congestion from the re-transmissions that are occurring.

Lowering the RTS CTS threshold will help minimize that issue. Usually the ability to change these settings you will find on higher end radios. This is not found as a feature on the linksys stuff for example which is NOT designed for heavy use in a WISP environment.
