Looks promising. I'd have expected more degradation from the increased distance.

There are two performance numbers used for a network link, bandwidth and latency.
iperf measures bandwidth and ping measures latency.
Wireless tends to have much worse latency than wired.
If a protocol blocks until messages get responses back, then latency can have a big effect on bandwidth achieved as the link is idle waiting for responses.
