Computer networks for the home and small business can be built using either wired or wireless technology. Wired Ethernet has been the traditional choice in homes, but Wi-Fi wireless technologies are gaining ground fast. Both wired and wireless can claim advantages over the other; both represent viable options for home and other local area networks (LANs).


Below we compare wired and wireless networking in five key areas:

• ease of installation
• total cost
• reliability
• performance
• security

I personally would prefer to have a wireless connection. I don't like watching wires hanging out of my computers and I find them troublesome sometimes. But one problem is that there are times where you lose connectivity in wireless connections.

I depends on your set-up. If you have 2 or 3 computers in relatively close proximity and you have no plans to expand, a wired network is probably the better option. Anything else, and you probably want to look at wireless possibilities.
