Wifi is generally going to be slower than a wired connection. Wifi is
subject to device contention as various devices sharing the channel each
struggle for bandwidth. There's also, sometimes, the issue of shared
channel interference if there are a lot of wireless access points around
which will cause some access points to back off and reduce data rates. Wifi
is often just slower: [Divide roughly by 10 for Mbit to Mbyte conversion] -
54Mb wifi (best case) == 5.4MB per second. 100Mb wired (best case) == 10MB
with no device contention. Many wifi routers now have 1Gb wired links (best
case) == 100MB.

Public wifi portals with a password - you're on your own - they all work
differently.

For the future: You may find it useful to use Wikipedia / a web search
engine to read information on some of this before you come and ask
questions on a mailing list. If you can show that you've done some reading
/ tried something out for yourself before asking a question when you don't
understand, it can help other people help you more easily.

All the very best, as ever,
