What's your signal strength look like? Wireless access points have what you can call "gears"... If you're close and your signal strength is excellent, the AP is going to be communicating at full capacity and you'll get a lot of throughput. Further away, it has to drop some of the compression algorithms and operate at slower speeds because the quality of the RF connection to your computer's wireless card can't support it.
If you're at full signal strength and still having this problem, then that's probably not the issue.
Also, I noticed that your access point has no authentication and is unsecured. Could it be possible that your neighbors are all leeching off your internet? If so, they could definitely be sucking down your bandwidth. You can check this by logging into your wireless router and checking to see who's connected to it. Connected client lists are standard in wireless APs, so you shouldn't have any issues determining such. If this is the case, you'll want to enable security on your AP, using anything but WEP, which is easily cracked. WPA2 with TKIP is fine.
If this isn't your issue, we can explore something else, like updating your wireless card's driver, etc.., but typically those two scenarios are the most common.
