How bad are wireless speeds?

I just got a di-524 dlink router, certainly not the cream of the crop but if it says 54mbs on the box I expect it to work that way. Anyways everything is setup in my room I have good connectivety, strong 54mbs connection to the wireless router. I have WEP enabled on the router too, but I run some file transfer tests.

On wired-wired my speeds where 80mbits solid, On wireless-wired speeds dropped to 11mbits (this would be 802.11b speeds right?) even though my connection was at 54mbs. I understand WEP can reduce speeds.. but this much? On wireless-wireless it got even worse. 5mbits!!
