Which network is running at "half"? You have at least two, possibly three, mentioned.

both PC's are running at 54.0 Mbps i have the DSL router pluged into the Wireless and both PC's are plugged into the wireless router but only one PC is using the wireless card...the other PC is connected via CAT5...before i added the wireless router the one that is conected by the cat 5 was at 100MBps

Okay, so let's get things straight: you have a DSL modem (brand/model?) attached to the WAN port of your wireless router (brand/model?.) You have one PC connected wirelessly (brand/model of wireless card?) and other connected via CAT5 to the router. Correct?

Can you fill in the blanks?

Wireless G is 54Mbps.

That's what the standard is. So called "Super G" may go up to about 108 Mbps, at best. Pre-N topped at about 108 Mbps for most routers, too.

Strange? That is exactly what you should have. Wireless G, as feyd mentioned, transfers at 54Mbps. Period. It will not go above that unless you have the Super G or Speedbooster type router AND wireless network card.

A wired connection is not limited by the transfer rate of the wireless connection.
