network speed question

Running three XP-Home SP-2 PC's with a D-Link wireless router.
PC #1 is the PC that has the cable modem connected to it. The network icon
states Local Area Connection Speed 100.0 Mbps.
PC#2 is wired to the wireless router and connection is through the NIC. It's
network icon states 1394 Connection Speed 400.0 Mbps.
PC#3 has a wireless desktop adapter from D-Link and the Network icon on it
states Wireless Network Speed 108.0 Mbps.
The router is wireless but #1 and #2 are wired into it with network cables.
Why the big discrepancy in speed between the wired PC's and what do the
numbers really mean? Thanks, Steve T
