Lower Speeds On Wireless compared to Wired

I have a Dlink DI525 4 port wireless router. My internet service is cable. When connected wirelessly on my laptop (dell insprion) I get 3612 kpbs down and around 600 k up. When connected to the modem directly, I get 5157 kbps down and about the same upload. I have a Intel wireless pc card in the laptop. A,B and G signal. The dlink is a wireless G. Is there any advantage of upgrading my wireless router to get the faster downloads that I get connected directly to the cable modem? The 524 is probably at least two years old.
