I think the connection speed is slower than a wired set-up, but I could be wrong?

i'm wireless on all my PC setups.
Daz, yea they seem pretty reliable, well mostly, although with the Belkin adaptor I bought I occasionally have to right click on my wireless icon on my task bar and select repair if it logs on and says can't find wireless network, but I think thats down to the adaptor being a bit gay, laptop and the shuttle are fine

This must be a Belkin thing. I bought my father a Belkin wireless pci card. He is always using the repair function to reestablish a connection.

Has anyone used a PS3 wireless? I've heard every time a new firmware comes out it breaks down.
