actually T1 is 1.544 Mb/s.
anyways, the 54Mb/s is the total bandwidth of the wireless segment, where as a 100Mb switch or router is 100Mb per interface. each port on a switch is capable of 100mb/s but the entire wireless segment of your network is capped at 54Mb/s (actually less because this 54 Mb/s includes all the overhead too.)+
one more thing, 54Mb/s is the top, this is under perfect circumstances, the farther away you are and the more obstructions in the way will decrease your speeds as well.
