100 ft 12$ CAT6 cable, theres other ways such as powerline networking and coax-ethernet bridges but they're both expensive compared to that.

There could be other devices causing interference with your wireless connection that would drop down you speeds.
Have you tried to change the wireless channel to 11 ?
Have you tried to change the wireless mode to G Only from Mixed ?
Have you tried changing the type of security that you are using ?
These are only a few things that you could try.
Normally Wireless Connectivity Speed is not guaranteed by Verizon or any other provider.

Before you get too deep into this the one thing that would help most is to get a tracert so we know what we are dealing with.
With Windows
go to the cmd prompt and type tracert www.yahoo.com
This will give us an idea if it is internal or external. You can also replace the yahoo with what ever web site you want or even your gaming server.
Now as for the wireless going from 54Mbs to 26 and so forth, this is usually due to the signal dropping. Depending on the age of your wireless system (both router and adaptor) and the type of adaptor being used (USB or PCI), it could be interfearance or age. As wireless systems get older they get weaker. Espcially with the USB style adaptors.

Spacedebris has a very good point here. I had a wireless pci adpater in my wife's desktop and she complained continuously about performance and connectivity. The nagging got so bad that I got my old NIM-100 out and hooked her up wired. But when I take my laptop to the same location (60 ft or some from the router), same router, same settings in the router, the signal strength shows excellent and the laptop never loses connectivity.
One more example of the kind of things that can happen. I have had FiOS internet over 4 years, and Verizon originally provided only a simple wired router for free, so I had my own Belkin wireless router daisy-chained from the Verizon router. When I originally got my laptop it was talking to the Belkin router just fine. Then about a year ago I got the Actiontec router from Verizon and started using that only. Laptop continued to work ok. Then I screwed up my laptop (I did it myself) and when I re-installed Windows, the laptop would connect to the Actiontec, but would lose connectivity frequently, reconnect, disconnect, over and over. I finally went to the Intel website and downloaded the latest drivers for the wireless adapter in the laptop, and I have not had a signal issue of any kind since then.
I guess the net is, it is not always the router that is causing wireless signal problems, other parts of your network, plus outside interference, can cause issues also. Of course your mileage may vary....
