Well, it really depends on your configuration. As far as we are
concerned, the aim was to share an Internet connection knowing that the
rooms were not on the same floor. We didn't want to run cables all
around the place or use a drill. So wireless is perfect.
Moreover, we don't have any peripherals anyway, so we're free to wander
around with our laptops.
And finally guests are pretty happy to be connected easily. You should
have seen Gerald: he was as happy as if he had seen a rerun of a whole
season of the A-Team!
