David - 802.11 is fine for internet access from multiple points - my laptop, my kids' laptops and a couple of machines that do mostly net access are wireless.

But any serious work with video or big format photos, for example, is very sluggish on wireless, and also hogs the bandwidth so that other wireless users get squashed. I find even 100Mb Ethernet to be slow for big video files and have gigabit between the workstation I use for composition and the server that holds the data.

So I think the efficacy of wireless depends a lot on usage.
