The original USB1.1 was limited to 12 Mb/s (fast mode). USB 2.0 is maxed out at 480Mb/s and the latest USB 3 is 5Gb/s. As you can see USB2 has more than enough speed to handle a wifi connection

WiFi has other speed limits related to the amount of spectrum (bandwidth) that the device uses.

Wireless USB devices are so rare they may as well not exist.

USB wireless devices can be limited to 40Mbps depending on their design.
