I doubt it'll be an bottleneck.

Airport Extreme is Apple's name for 802.11g, which has speeds of up  
to 54meg. There is some overhead to this so that real speed is c  
25meg, but absolute top speed for ADSL2 is about the same (22meg?).

Most likely situation is that you're a couple of miles from the  
telephone exchange & get 8meg or so, you're computer is at the other  
end of the house & gets 12meg or so and your ISP's network is the  
bottleneck at 6meg or so.

Stroller.
