I'm operate from my family room via wireless to all my wired PCs in the 
shack/data center. Even my work PC!! Wireless is the way to go. I found 
that you may have to fix your wireless router on a quiet channel (use 
Net Stumbler) to prevent interference. I have 3 wireless LANs and 2 
WANs. I'm trying to get the 2 WANs bridge, either wireless or wired.

 I can either use CAT 5 wire - about 20-25 feet long - to connect my
 Ham computer to the internet, or I can turn on the wireless feature
 of my router and connect via the slower wireless portal. Speed won't
 be an issue - until I try computer control.
 
 Will running the long ethenet cable behind my rigs cause more or less
 problem than going wireless?
 
 Thank you and 73,

Go wireless. The speed wont be an issue as your wireless connection
will be MUCH faster than your internet connection.

Also consider this:

Last year a tree in my yard got hit by lightning. It went into the
ground and got my telephone line. Followed the telephone line to the
dsl modem and thru the ethernet connection to my computer. Bye Bye
computer. Now I use wireless so there is NO connection to my computer.
I also now DISCONNECT the telephone line from modem when storms are in
area.
