I have one. Pain in the ass.

It may be my connection, but I get disconnected several times daily. And the signal is not all that powerful, but it's probably due to my machine connecting with Wireless G.

Yeah, I have a Linksys router myself and it does the same shit, even with the patch.

I use wireless at home because I have three desktops, two laptops and two psps that use the internet (sometimes all at once) and having a cable trailing around for each of the desktops and laptops is a pain in the ass (especially when you're moving room to room with a laptop) also, the psps don't have an ethernet port so trying to jam a cable in one of those probably wouldn't be a good idea

so everything is slow
just like the wii

You can buy a usb ethernet adapter for the Wii. Personally if a networked device isn't going to be moved around while in use, I'd rather have a cable run to where it resides and hooked up.

Using wireless for a portable device like a laptop or the PSP makes perfect sense.

urm.. doesn't it support usb to Ethernet? get one of those, it need not be offical

Wireless fails hard when used with desktop computers, and other devices that don't need to be moved that often.

Unless you have pain-in-the-ass parents who don't want cables running through the house..

I sued to be in that scenario; since moving out I still have wireless - but only use it for my Laptop and Wii (CBF Apying for a Ethernet Adaptor for it - there is Ethernet at my TV Though - My 360 and Xbox are using it fine)

Another good exmaple of wireless is Community Wireless networks - like AirStream www.airstream.org

Why WOULDN'T one use a wireless router? If one uses decent security+secure protocol, and doesn't have an army of Hackers on his ass, it's pretty much as secure as a wired connection.

Add to that how dynamic it is. Someone is at your house and needs a connection, drag some Cat-5/6 from god knows where? No, enter passphrase and go. Feel like working on the roof? Go ahead. Have a DS, PSP, Wii or PS3? Connect and go, no need to buy anything else. Well, except the DS, which has to use a faggy insecure protocol.
