Hi, Wlan at 54MBps works to some distance, but to get the 108Mbps you need to have the the both devices (access point and notebook) very close to each other. Usually I never get more than 54Mbps from my 108MB wlan gear. Typical average thruput is still only around 20Mbps.
How about getting 1Gbps network cards and use wired connection when transferring a lot of big files (well, wired 100Mbps is pretty fast too)?
