You asked me too look, but I have no personal experience of nfs over wifi.
My guess is that it may not work well: if the link drops for an instant I don't think NFS can cope too gracefully. The best thing would be FTP... or perhaps not, because either you get bad files or it has to repeat and repeat... which is probably why NFS is slow. Just try with ftp (or http) and compare.
As to the connection quality graph, I suppose it shows normally "good", simply because it is not used. As soon as NFS uses it hard, it shows the real quality, which is "bad". That's my educated guess.
So, I think that your real problem is the connection quality.
I can go along with that as a possibility. I have been using NFS over wireless for quite some time. In my case the NFS server is connected to my router via wire but the client (Windows laptop) is connected to the router via wireless. I run quicken on the windows client but keep the data on the Linux (SuSE 9.3) server. Performance, reliability and integrity of the Quicken data have been problems. My wireless connection is rock solid because everything is on battery backup and the wireless signal is strong.
