Desktop closest to router has slowest speed test

Why use WiFi if the router or AP is 2 ft. away?

I too have experienced receiver overload when client and AP/router are too close. Causes same symptoms as weak signal: low data rates due to frequent retransmissions for error correction. Happened as I helped a neighbor troubleshoot their crappy AT&T 2-wire modem/router/wifi.
