Ok wired is always better than wireless. That being said here is how you can calculate what to expect on wireless:
Look at your link rate (your link rate will depend on your router, settings, and signal strength). On my Windows laptop when I connect to my 2.4Ghz AP my software shows I connect at 150Mb/s. Ok that is link rate by not throughput. Throughput is usually 50 to 60% of link rate. So lets say 50% for my example. Ok so my throughput is 75Mbit/s. Now wireless communication is half duplex. So to compare it to wired communication, which is full duplex (at least in 99% of the cases), you would have to cut the throughput in half. So now we are talking 37.5Mbit/s. Ok so in perfect circumstances I could get 37.5Mbit/s. Now three more factors come into play. If I move further from my AP, my signal will drop and so will my speed. Also, all your wireless devices share this bandwidth. So if you have more than one device using the wireless your speed will decrease for each device. Lastly, if you have neighbors using 2.4Ghz wireless on the same channel or an overlapping channel, you must also share radio time (which translates into bandwidth) with them. So when I run test on my laptop from my den I get between 18 and 25Mbit/s.
If you want better wireless you usually have to change to the 5Ghz channel. In 5Ghz you have many more channels so the possibility of overlapping with a neighbor is low. Also, since there are so many channels you can combine more than one channel to get higher speeds. For example on my 5Ghz wireless, I connect at 300Mb/s (using 2 channels). For wireless take 50%, so now 150Mbit/s. Now to compare to wired I half it again, to 75Mbit/s. In actuality I get a little better than that, so my wireless overhead with my AP is not as high as some as I am able to pull 90Mbit/s reliably.
