It's an older desktop but would that really affect it when it's hardwired internet?

Usually hardwired is better, but depending on the age of your desktop, it could be a number of things. The network adapter may limit you to 100 Mbps if it isn't a gigabit card, but I would still expect to see it faster than 21. It could be misconfigured, you could have a faulty cat5 cable, there could be something in between like a switch that is causing trouble. It could also be the Shaw router, which are notorious for providing bad wifi, although I wouldn't expect it to be that poor if hardwired.
The next thing I would try is another device (if possible) hardwired to the modem/router, and work backwards from there. If it persists, try a different cable. Etc.
