Yes, but forget wireless at your "core". If you have the chance to
get your house wired properly then do that. Wireless is great for
convenience and no doubt you will put in a wireless access point as
well, but I *guarantee* that you will *truly* regret not putting down
a few wires if you have the chance to do so.

I don't agree.
For me, and most people, WiFi is perfectly adequate,
just as DECT phones are.
Drilling holes in ceilings is a thing of the past, TG.

This is why both options are available, opinions sharply differ.

I have DECT phones, but they're no longer actually _needed_ since I
installed cat5 everywhere last month, they'll be going in the bin[1]
as soon as I find some decent wired phones.

WiFi to me is an excellent idea for laptops, but fixed pcs will get a
nice cat5e patch cable into the wall.

[1] They're cheap and nasty ones, wouldn't sell them because it
wouldn't be a nice thing to do to someone, and yes, the plastic parts
will be going in the recycle bin.
