Assuming the wireless connection speed is greater than your Internet connection there shouldn't be an issue if it's stable?
e.g if your wireless is connected at say 54mbit and your adsl connection is 7.5mbit the limiting factor is the ADSL connection itself. You may get faster speeds locally via wired cables, but again this depends on other devices/switches on the network as well. On the other hand if your wireless was say 30mbit and you had 80mbit fibre then the wireless could indeed be the limiting factor.
Provide some more info about connection speeds, etc if this doesn't make sense to you.
Ben.

Click the wireless icon in the system tray,, network and connection sharing and then click the wireless connection 1 or whatever its called.
Should display the connection speed on that screen.
What is it you're using to speed test with?
Reply is a bit short, sat in house with no electric ATM so typing from phone.. Bloody electrician!

When your laptop was connected using a cable, did you remember to switch off the wireless on the laptop ?

In a few cases it can even be the computer that's the limiting factor (or even antivirus or firewall software) throttling the speed.
I'm sure I've seen a post in the past where a user had a very old laptop that was basically slower than their Fibre connection!
Wired (100mb full duplex ethernet or better) will not normally throttle Fibre speeds, WiFi often can and will (due to distance, interference and other factors not normally affecting a wired connection) but if the Fibre connection itsself is slower than the network devices connected (wired or wireless) then it will be the limiting factor.

Can try this way
Click on the START button.
Select CONTROL PANEL from the START MENU.
Click on NETWORK AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS in the Control Panel window, if Windows is using the Category view.
Click on NETWORK CONNECTIONS on the next screen.
Right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and select DISABLE from the menu that appears.
When you want to enable the wireless network connection again, right-click on the icon and select ENABLE.
