Wired will always be fastest/more stable. You will get faster and more reliable connections if you plug directly into the modem. Packet loss is just a part of wireless networks that is unavoidable so it's always slower.It seems to vary between routers too.

At my old house with a Dlink router we paid for 15mbps download speeds but all the wireless computers only got about 5mbps (lots of interference in the house though). Now we have a netgear router and pay for 12mbps and get 12mbps with wireless (not much interference in this house). In both cases, the wired connection yielded lower latencies with online games and 0% packet loss, while the wireless connections had fairly higher latencies and .2%-1.5% packet loss.

Yes, you will. The summary line above says it all in a nutshell but the technical answer is... Cable modem service is limited by the current DOCSIS standard, which is DOCSIS 2.0. This effectively limits the maximum throughput of any cable modem service to 38Mbps (or 50Mbps if using EuroDOCSIS over in Europe), which is slower than the 54Mbps 802.11g, the most common wireless networking standard in use today.

Thus, if you go with any wireless-g router and an appropriate wireless-g adapter, you should be fine. When DOCSIS 3.0 is widespread and actually implemented to the home (which will be many years from now as the standard was only recently ratified and, thus, the hardware manufacturers are now having to develop the technology for the big boys first), your cable modem will be able to go up to as much as 304Mbps here in the States or 400Mbps over in Europe. At that point, you would be best served by avoiding the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet cable networking solution and going with 802.11n wireless or moving up to Gigabit Ethernet wired networking.

I'd say this would be a consideration probably around 2002.11 or so, not something you need to consider today. I personally use 802.11n technology in my office since I heavily utilize the 300Mbps capability but that does nothing for the Internet connection, of course. For your perusal, I will attach various wireless-g routers and adapters to the end of this answer.

If you have any questions or would like further information, feel free to let me know.

1 Most likely. There are different speeds for wireless though. Unless you have an Uber speed connection you will probably be alright.

2 I seem to run just slightly slower in wireless mode than when I am plugged into my router. However, that may or may not be my imagination.

3 My experience with my wireless is the same as TLW... a little slower using wireless than when I'm on the machine with the direct connection to the cable modem.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
