Don't forget that your 54 mbps wireless is a shared resource. If device A wants to send a packet to device B then A transmits it to the base station (router) and this re-transmits it on to B. Only one station can transmit at a time and, unless it directly involves the router, each packet is transmitted twice. With a wired network you can have 100 mbps in each direction down each cable all at the same time - an enormous increase in bandwidth.
