The wifi antenna should, in theory [Note: see my sig

], and assuming that the same antenna is used for transmission and reception, perform equally well (or badly) for transmission and reception. There may be other issues making the connection asymmetric, e.g. noise levels.

Sorry if i seem like I'm being pedantic.
