Answering this question revolves around a couple of factors:
1. Where are you going to use your PC?
2. Is that location near the modem that receives your Internet service? and
3. Is your PC a laptop so you might be using it in multiple locations?
Wired connections have the advantage of being directly connected to your modem/router. Unless the wire is severely kinked or extremely long, nothing will affect the signal to your PC. However, setting up wired connections in various locations can involve some time and expense.
Wireless connections emanate from a wireless router (sometimes called a “base station) that is connected to your modem. As long as you don’t move too far from your base station, you can wirelessly connect. This enables your PC(s) to be portable and still maintain their connection to your network and/or the Internet. As well, it keeps you from having to string network cables to all your computing locations.
Note that you can also wirelessly connect printers to your network. This saves on cabling costs, allows printers to be shared from multiple locations, and reduces the “cable clutter” that you have to endure.
It may take a little more time to initially set up wireless connections and make sure that they are secure. However, I personally “vote” for the convenience and inexpensiveness or wireless computing.
