It's swings and roundabouts. Both wired and wireless have pros and cons.
Oh Stuart, I forget you where at my side......on times

Well plug in & play method of a Ethernet lead is much simpler as it has two ends, each in the other than fiddling around with channel settings & band channels as you get with wireless if you do get it to work. There different ways to create a wired network so one way is have few ethernet leads in places but ain't carpets/underlay made in there way to allow you bury all these lead under them if you have restrictions in a room? (direction/layout/to<>from router) Think out side the box not just on walls or home plugs.

So you would really trust a neighbour, with your unsecured wireless connection? even if you where put in the dock (court) for computer offences under the "Millennium act" even if you didn't do anything. Remember the account holder is fully legally accountable to whatever passes over your network illegal or legal in a court of law. So meaning a long criminal record for yourself, trusting your neighbour/s & alike who comes passed.

Just passing on a point/view nothing more than that

Nice to speak to you sir Stuart
