I would start with the USB Wireless LAN card, do you have a wired client, or one that doesn't use USB (mobile devices, for example). Are wired clients getting the same speed ?
What is the underlying technology of your Internet connection, e.g. cable, fiber dsl, etc. ?
How are you measuring the actual speed, speedtest.net / speedguide.net speed tests or something else?

my PS4 is wired and it's getting a varied speed from up to 55mb. I just ordered a nic 10/100 nic card it will be here on sunday. I'll post the results once its installed.
Here is the speed test from speedguide.net

Yeah, if feasible, you will probably get much better results with a wired Ethernet NIC, many of those USB WiFi adapters are slow and inconsistent.

Yeah, I've had similar experiences with off-brand USB cards in general. Thanks for sharing!
