Wi-Fi is not only about Internet. How about in-home use?
I've just backed up laptop's HDD to a desktop machine the other day. Took me about 10 hours. I haven't bothered, since I slept most of that time anyway, but would still enjoy if it'd be faster. I think I've also hit bandwidth constraints, when I streamed high-definition media over the LAN.

Hard drives and protocol overhead are to blame.
1gig+ .11n wifi is common, Ethernet is always an option but in either case neither will be the bottleneck.
