newbe question: I know wireless is slower but......

Hi, I just connected up a wireless router to my DSL system. It's an INEXQ model ISW54U (802-11G) and found that the performance is MUCH slower than without it. My desktop, which is connected via hardwired Ethernet cable to the router, is experiencing network speeds that are only 1/4 of what they are if I directly connect it to my cable modem.

I know that wireless adds overhead etc. but this is really a bit much. But as I said, I'm a newbe so perhaps it's just my expectations? Am I being too demanding or is there something wrong that I should be trying to debug?
