should I do wireless or wired networking. I'm connecting my ps3(20gig), Xbox 360, and pc. Is wireless slower than wired?

I have the wireless networking adapter and it works great for me, the signal is strong but I hear that wired is better way because it might be a little faster

ok here goes.. this is like the 50th bulletin ive posted today...

what you want to do is you should probably go with the wireless, depending on if you have fiber optic internet connection, or have a dsl connection, my guess is that you have a fiber optic connection, meaning that you could set up your house with a decent router  for like 80.. that will make you lose VERY little connection speed but still have the conveinence without the cords!

if you have a slower internet, then go for what is called a switch box.

you plug the home run cable [coxial wall cable]

into the leading socket and run all of the other cords off of that. they can be pricey however you lose NOO connection speed at alll!
