ralleman87 Did you try changing the channels? Has it been like that since you had the router? Wireless speed is incomparable with wired connection.
The wireless will never reach the same speed as the wired connection. You will have to consider a lot of factors when it comes to wireless.
20Mbps could be really the speed for your network. Your adapter is AC on Mac while the router is N. I'm not saying that it's incompatible but these 2 wireless standards are different and could be the reason why you're getting that result. When it comes to wireless, it would always be better if you have the same wireless standards on all your devices for you to take advantage of the advertised speed.
Like if you're running AC on your wireless computer then it would be best to get an AC router.
