Well, my WiFi Router (Linksys WRT54GC) died on Sunday so I'm almost without wireless LAN. For the time beeing I'm using SMC Wirelles Network Storage (SMCWAPS-G) as an temporary access point.
But at the end it's not a big deal, as I'm not a big WiFi user.
Partly because my house with it's thick stone walls pretty much limits the wireless signal to only one room and partly because I have most of my devices on wired LAN.
Pretty much the only device that regularly uses WiFi is my Advantage - it's nicer to browse on WiFi than it's on 3G and when I finish setting up my new EEE Surf for the kitchen it will also be on WiFi as I don't have wires on kitchen counter.
Everything else I have, works on 1Gb wired LAN:
- Home server (old Asus Pundit),
- old notebook turned into printer server,
- work Notebook,
- 3 Logitech Squeezbox players
- Pop Corn video streamer

It's just better (faster) this way.

Oh and my phone - I never use it on WiFi - it's always connected to 3G network so why bother and since it's Diamond the battery would be dead in 30 minutes :-)
