I do have two WAG102 Routers,
product is an access point and not router :)
when both device is configure to connect WIRELESSLY (repeating) you will loose the performance in half so expect slowness
When I disconnect the client Access Point, (which is on the first floor), my download speed goes up to 2MB/s
2MB/s= 16MBps so you are getting low wireless connectivity. if this at where second WAG102 is disconnected tested then you would assume when 2nd WAG is enabled and wifi devices connected, it will be 1Mb/s max so 20kb may be bit slow and 1MB/s will highest with given result you gave.
also half duplex will also a factor too.
rather using repeating, extender can going the existing network so makes better performance such as wn2000rp , wn300rp,
