Computer Question Regarding Wired Ethernet vs Wireless Connections

[CRedskinsRule]

I have a FIOS router on the 1st floor, and when I am upstairs I use a laptop with wireless connection. The speed is generally fine. There are a few deadspots, but overall the connection, once established is fine for any basic needs. I use HULU upstairs to watch streaming TV at times, and that has worked fine as well.

On the other side, a wired connection obviously offers the better and most secure option if you have any concerns that way.
