What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Robin-Dash is reporting the speed in KB/s i.e. 314KB/s (KiloBYTE per second)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I find this rather confusing as there is no data rate unit "KB/s". According to 
my 34 years old brain and international standards 
(https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Data_rate_units) the official 
unit name for 

kilobit/s is "kbit/s, kb/s, or kbps"
kilobyte/s is "kB/s or kBps"
megabit/s is "Mbit/s, Mb/s, or Mbps"

I vote for Mbit/s. :-D 
The right data rate unit for the (hopefully) upcoming 802.11n standard.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
