I like wireless - it's reliable enough, secure enough, and lets people
access the internet without having wires dangling all over the living room.

My house is largely cat5 wired everywhere.

When I still used a desktop, I'd have gone for that solution. Now my
computers are portable, my connectivity needs to be too.

If I have friends or relatives visiting, I let them use my wireless internet
access, and vice-versa. This works well.


I let them plug into a cat5 on the wall. Because realistically, with
foil covered plasterboard and chicken wire on the outer walls, my WIFI
range is about 12 feet.

I must get something stuck on a chimney for garden use..
