Actual throughput (I believe) is half, so at best, you'll get 3-3.5MB/sec transfer speeds on a 54g WiFi connection. Depending on the siting of your clients and router, interference will reduce this rate, as will encryption.
Summary: if you're on a 3MB connection or higher and using WiFi, you'll take a performance hit.

I think you're confusing mbps raw bandwidth with mb/sec transfer rate? Downloading at 3mbps (like the 3meg services) isn't the same as 3mb/sec. On 3meg, you'd get 375k/sec without a router. On 10mbps, you'd only get 1.25mb/sec
