Advantages of Wired Networking

Faster
Wired connections can reach networking speeds of up to 1000 Mbps with a Gigabit Ethernet networking switch, necessary for bandwidth hungry users such as avid gamers, graphic designers or users downloading large media files. However, for most users 54 or 108 Mbps networking speeds are more than sufficient for everyday networking activities such as: Emailing, surfing the web, downloading files, music and video, accessing corporate information and playing console games.

Reliable
Physical, fixed wired connections are not prone to interference and fluctuations in available bandwidth, which can affect some wireless networking connections.

Secure
If you decide to have a wired network, you don't have to worry about your networking signal travelling through the air and being interrupted by eavesdroppers (snoopers), which can happen if you don't protect your wireless network. There are very effective security measures (encryption) for wireless networks - you just need to remember to add passwords to your wireless network settings to stop otherss from using your wireless connection.
