Wireless Speeds with USB1.1 or 2.0

You could add a PCI USB 2.0 card for added speed.

Ethernet cable has several benefits over wireless, less latency, more speed, and full duplex operation. When I do a speed test on my wirless connection and my wired connection, I do get significantly faster throughput on the wired connections.
 
Wired connections are typically 100mbit, unless you have gigabit capability. Wireless connections for an 802.11g network (the most common kind) are 54mbit maximum.
 
The RF section may be connected at 54mbit, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bottleneck at the USB interface. If you were connected to a USB 2.0 connection at 480 and the RF was at 54mbit, the bottleneck would be the wireless link, not the USB interface. See what I mean?
