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.

Someone tell Clive and Dennis, PLEASE! I have tried.

You've utterly failed, because right now I'm using a laptop in a place where
running a cable from the router would be tedious, and it is secure enough.
I've not had any problems with reliability at all, contrary to the naysayers
on this group.

You've missed the points I've made which is that it works well enough, is
easy enough to set up, makes commercial sense to offer, and offers
advantages in quite a few situations - and I'm in one of them now.

In some ways it was a bit nerdy at christmas watching all the younger
members of the family with their laptops out - 6 of us in one room. But it
worked, and would be really tedious to set up with wires. That was with a
default ISP supplied router (not my house).
