[gentoo-user] Wireless: Limit rate to strengthen connection?

[Grant]

I'm trying to strengthen a wireless connection that spans about 150
feet and has to go through about 5 walls.  I bought two of these:

for either end of the connection, but I'm having trouble making it
work well.  I've noticed the connection will be perfect for a short
time, but then disappear.  When watching iwconfig during this process,
it looks like the connection is good when on a low rate, but when it
goes to 54 Mbps it falls apart.

Should limiting the rate solve this problem?  If so, how can I do
that?  I'm using hostapd on the AP and wpa_supplicant on the client.
