Hi Glebius, 

simple http fetch test give about of 10% of throughput:
before ~59Mbps
after ~65Mbps

I'm not sure that results is precise, but I'm sure it gives few
percent anyway.

Seems no problem in configuration when wired network and wireless
joined into bridge (typical AP).

Thank you very much! Keep going! :)
