im using a laptop. my router is in the basement and i use my laptop about everywhere but my basement. like on my kitchen table for my homework or at a coffee shop and stuff like that so wireless is a big issue. my parents got really made the last time i got a 100 foot cable and had it running throught the house so i could do my homework on the kitchen table. a "wired" network is a good idea, but it limits me in a lot of ways.
