Regarding wireless - I have a wireless in my home - but don't use it. Its actually disabled at the router and only is turned on when our oldest visits with her laptop.

Make sure you get one that allows you to specify the host SSID, MAC address of all devices, and password the connections. Between all three, your secure from the vast majority of those who would listen in.

Sure, its definitely not unbreakable, but its highly unlikely you have a mitnik jr. next door. More common are the script kiddies who look for easy targets to feed their ego.

You can find a wireless router like above for under a hundred bucks easy. Netgear makes some good ones, as does Linksys and D-link.
