I have 1 desktop that is wired and 1 laptop that uses wireless

Since you refer to slow LAN speeds, I assume you're referring to a transfer between the wired desktop PC and the wireless laptop.

Any transfer between the two is going to be constrained by the slowest component, which is your wireless connection.

You said you're getting "Mob/s".  I'm not clear if you're referring to megabits or megabytes.

If that number is megabytes, that's about average for a wireless-G connections.

MOB/sec (note the caps) * 8 bits/byte = 24Mbps  

If you meant 3Mbps, then you're probably dealing with a wireless interference issue and should look at the usual wireless troubleshooting issues, such as changing the channel, eliminating sources of interference, etc.
