It's not a very good alternative, though, for a fixed computer - but fine
for laptops which you might want to use in different parts of the house.

Wireless connections are invariably more temperamental than wired ones, have
additional security issues to be addressed, and it is a bad mistake not to
have at least one PC with a wired connection into the router for
configuration purposes.
