"In June 2003, a third modulation standard was ratified: 802.11g. This works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b), but uses the same OFDM based transmission scheme as 802.11a. It operates at a maximum physical layer bit rate of 54 Mbit/s exclusive of forward error correction codes, or about 22 Mbit/s average throughput.[7] 802.11g hardware is fully backwards compatible with 802.11b hardware and therefore is encumbered with legacy issues that reduce throughput when compared to 802.11a by ~21%." - wiki

So your maximum is going to be 22 Mbit/s, but that has to handle
Internet downloads for 3 computers
Internet uploads for 3 computers
Random communication between router and the 3 computers
Random communication between the 3 computers (programs like itunes have sharing features that will use some bandwidth)

Turn 2 computers off, retest internet speed. If it increases, get a 802.11n router
