I highly recommend you get a couple if you see them on offer. It makes a huge difference.
As an average, (file-size depending) 55Mb/sec is about as good as you get in real terms on a hard wired Gigabit Network Harrison. That's not to shabby at all for wireless, aside from the increase in Latency & the polling of course.
