Hi Leon,
what type of wireless device were you referring to? is this just a normal home wireless router or one with an high gain antenna or a different type?
if there is more than one antenna socket like the Cisco ones, you could use one for transmit and one for receive or balance both.
As for adjusting TCP size, reducing the segment size too low can cause excessive fragmentation.
have a look at the wireless statistics on your router admin page. that'll give you RF stats. you can get an idea of where your problem is with that.
if its an 802.11n router, that uses reflections to improve throughput and coverage, whereas the 802.11a/b/g, not so much.
edit: if wireless AP's or routers are placed near the ceiling, its common practice to invert them, so the antenna faces downward as you'd see in supermarkets or malls. they radiate in all directions, but above the plane of the connector.
a pic of the router and antenna would be helpful.
