just to clarify the above: there is a highly likelihood that if you connected your laptop or pc directly to the router by wire that you will get max speed. The problem with wireless is that there are many types of network cards which perform at varying degrees, then there is the distance you are from the router and interference as well such as the signal going through walls. Some people can get full speed or close to it if they have bought the right equipment but like qas said, the average over wireless is 50mbits. This doesn't mean that there is a problem with your connection though and that you couldn't get full speed if you chose an optimum connection media.
