Unless you're frequently moving your PCs (laptops?) around, I'd go for a
wired solution every time. It's far more reliable and far more secure. [If
wireless is flakey out of the box, think what it will be like when you
introduce decent encryption!]

If you *really* want to stick with wireless, disable the router's DHCP
server function and give each PC a fixed IP address. That will immediately
eliminate one common type of wireless connectivity problem.

In the defence of WIFI, mine's rock solid and running WPA2-PSK. That's not
the most secure but it's good enough for most people.
