As retired Ex-IT, i woudl go for wired Cat6 anyday. i dont trust wifi, its far too easy to break into, dont do anything like online banking on it. There was a scandal a couple of years ago where it turned out the Google Street cars (the ones that take all the photographs for Streetview) were also harvesting data off the wifi routers they picked up as they drove round, as a side benefit. WiFi will never be safe, because no matter how complex you make the WEP encryption, it will always be possible to build a system to crack it, because the initial key value used to determine the cipher only has 16 million values and is therefore susceptible to brute force attack. Once Quantum Computing becomes a reality, encryption of anything will become a nighmare, but you cant suck passwords off a length of 6 core cable.

If you are intersted in the weaknesses of wifi encryption, google "RC4 stream cipher"
