I'd be really quite happy with that.

As BillK remarks, 50% of your 54 Mbit is consumed by protocol
overhead. You're probably going to tell us that the two machines are
currently right next to each other, so losing an additional 50% to
interference & other intangibles might seem at first sight
unreasonable, but I doubt you'll ever do any better than that, and
you could waste a lot of time trying.

Wireless is for surfing on the sofa - you can easily get eighty times
this throughput with a cable, so investing time & energy in trying to
get a two-times performance increase is a poor return.
