Your clients have good signal to them, but the signal they are getting back to 
the AP may be less than desirable. It could be that one or more of your 
clients have poor signal back to the AP, if one of those clients starts to 
send traffic out, it will often not reach the AP in a usable state [ie. it's 
corrupted]. When that happens that client then has to re-xmit to the AP the 
lost packet, which is also likely to be lost. The AP will then be busy having 
transactions with the poor client at the expense of the good ones. This 
problem is compounded by hidden nodes. Do your clients have RTS configured? 
Also if you find a client who is not getting good signal back to the AP try 
setting their fragmentation threshold to a lower number.
