In the article the author talks of WiFi interference.

Try using MAC filtering. In previous experiments it drastically improved through put.

I know the mac address can be spoofed, provides no security and can be a pain to set up when everything is WiFi enabled, but it really helps.

All those other WiFi gadgets that belong to your neighbours are continuously try to login, and being rejected, all the time!

While you are at it, probably downgrade those ARP broadcasts to unicasts. Your home Wi-Fi router probably already knows all the IP address MAC address mapping; so no need for devices to send those stupid ARP broadcasts to everything.
