What makes that article complete nonsense is that they are suggesting wireless as a simpler solution than setting up a wired LAN!

Wireless is a superset of wired and is far more complicated for the average Joe to set up (and far less reliable).

My house has a wireless LAN (mainly for the kids's MSN) but I use wired ethernet for media streaming and Powerline for ad hoc large file transfers. Wireless is generally a PITA.
