It really depends on the signal strength and the distance between the PC and WAP. But from my experience that speed is a little slow, I usually get about 2mb/s at about 25ft through 2-3 non insulated walls.
You're looking at a maximum theoretical output of 54 Mbit/sec which roughly equates to 6.75 MByte/sec. 2-3 MB isn't out of the question, but, you're at about 1, so, I'm guessing there's a wall or two or something else in the way?

How many devices are on your network? I believe bandwidth also gets split between devices. I've noticed, at least, that even if my wife's laptop is just sitting idle on the network, my max throughput between the two desktops (connected through a wireless bridge) is cut; close the lid, it goes back up.

So if I put the laptop right next to the router it should run faster? I'll test it tonight.

I suspect the spectrum is just too crowded these days.
