my connection is 1/3 the speed that it is when it is connected via a
wire. my normal connection rate is ~16000kbps but it only transmits
~5000kbps. this does not matter how far the computer is away from the
router. i am using a usb wireless transmitter my router is a di-624.
my encryption is WEP 128bit

Could be interference and/or weak signal. Check the Wiki for some
things to check.

Maybe the USB adapter is not getting sufficient DC power from the
connector.

Try running it from a powered hub.

A bad USB extension cable can also cause problems.

If the supplied power is not sufficient, the adapter speed will fall
back to USB1.
