    Impaired wireless performance on battery

    I have a Samsung X20 laptop which seem to suffer from reduced performance when running on batteries. The signal monitor will report 54 Mb/s and excellent signal strength, but it just seems like there is a major difference in response from websites etc between battery and mains performance.

    Is there any way of checking whether this difference is real?
