Internet via Wireless slower than LAN

I have two computers connected to the Internet one hardwired and the other via wireless. On the hardwired i'm getting a connection to the internet around 2mb/s and on the wireless 0.8mb/s.

Local speeds on the wireless are 54mb/s. Does anyone know why the wireless internet is slower? And is there a possible fix?

Wireless can be like that - local interference kills the actual speed, even though the reported connection speed is high. Try changing the channel on the router and/or moving things about.

I tried transfering a file over the local network, it shifted the same speed as a 14mb internet connection. That is what makes it confuseing.
