I have several devices that can use wireless but I almost never use it. I do have them set up for it, though. The only thing I use it for is my KT, and even then I only turn it on when I want to download a book.

My main concern is reliability. I live in a rural area and I have had enough hiccups the few times I've used a wireless connection that I really don't trust it for, say, streaming Netflix or some such. I realize that it does work for the most part but I much prefer using a wired connection. I have two cables run to my bedroom which are used for an HD Roku, a PS3 and an Oppo BD player. I mainly use it for updates on the last two machines and I prefer the Netflix interface on my PS3.

That's under normal circumstances. My internet provider is in the midst of a merger and I have been without wireless service for the last three weeks. That's no big deal for me but I know it's driving a lot of people crazy. The only inconvenience for me is that I've had to sideload any books I've bought for my KT.
