I've got a Microsoft wireless router. It's childishly easy to set up if you are running Windows. It seems reasonably secure, although I have invested in the excellent Alpha Shield harware firewall for better security.
I don't play SHIII online, but I do play a lot of other stuff. Unless Ivo Shandor (the architect who designed the ghost-magnet apartment building in the movie "Ghostbusters") has built your home, a wireless router is a really good, cheap networking investment.
Here's the script bit from Ghostbusters regarding the grim Mr. Shandor:
SPENGLER
Ivo Shandor, I saw his name in Tobin's
SPIRIT GUIDE. He started a secret society
in 1920.
VENKMAN
(putting it all together)
Let me guess -- Gozer Worshippers.
SPENGLER
Yes. After the First World War Shandor
decided that society was too sick to
survive. And he wasn't alone. He had close
to a thousand followers when he died. They
conducted rituals, bizarre rituals, intended
to bring about the end of the world.
