54Mbit/s is the theoretical connection speed, the maximum throughtput is 
around 22Mbit/s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11#802.11g)

For the best channel I would suggest you use a network scanner like 
wifi-radar or netstumbler (Windows) to find out which channels are the 
most in use.

That is a setting that you will have to define on the WiFi AP, should be 
on the same page as where you define the SSID
