Why is my wireless faster than ethernet?

What exactly are your hardware and software specs?

That's normal. Wireless N is having faster bandwidth than your 100Mbps LAN. However, in real life, you may need to discount more on the wireless and is usually slower.

My Vaio laptop can achieve 300Mbps with Linksys E4200 router. With iMac, it should reach 450Mbps (@5GHz) according to the spec. Btw, I am still waiting for my BTO iMac with SSD

I noticed that your 130 mbps connection was for only 39 seconds while the 100 mbps was for 5:30. I've frequently noticed that download speeds decrease with time. I'm not sure why. It would be interesting to try both connections for the same time and see what numbers you get.
