The State of Wi-Fi pt.2
...wired networks are also, invariably, much much slower than wired networks.
Wired is always better, except for mobility. Most homes have a home-office work space be it a separate room or just a desk in the corner. Those stationary computer workstations are best wired. In addition, wiring the second floor in multilevel dwellings adds bonuses.

Wireless networks basically suck. Commonly, you and half a dozen neighbors each has a Wi-Fi network each interfering--butting heads-- with each other. I think of the airspace in your neighborhood as an invisible version of Wi-Fi mayhem. The illusion of "Home Sweet Private Home" is anything but that--especially so if you have an open Wi-Fi network.
If you have an opportunity to install a wired network, take a moment to consider the advantages.
