Wifi is great, for convienence, but it is flaky. It can be disrupted - frequently by all kinds of electromagnetic fields. Everytime my wife or son uses the Microwave, my Linksys Wireless router goes stupid. After a few minutes, it comes back....
Wire where you can, wifi where you can't.

Still have most of it left because the electrician wired the house and didn't use my cable to do it. I wasn't too worried because the outdoor surveillance stuff still needs to be wired and so does the area behind the house where I was going to put an outlet. I have no plans to use wireless on anything in the house more sophisticated than a printer. I don't trust wireless and like to rely on wires in conduit in the walls. They're not as easy to hack. My wireless router actually has the WiFi turned off. I'll probably change it all later on, but right now I'm not WiFi savvy enough to set it up the way I would want it set up.
