Is 54Mbit wireless like "hub" or "switch"?

[Dan McCudden]

This is my first post so be gentle. From what I recall of my time
setting up routers for the phone company in Saskatchewan the 54 Mbps
figure is for ONE device. The bandwidth you get is shared by every
wireless doodad you have on the network. Thus your two mythtv clients
will be sharing the 54 Mbps as will any laptops, desktops, wifi
cellphones and any devices using the connection with rotten old wires.
