its fine for anything besides huge file transfers and gaming. wireless is not made for gaming. even though you can run it smoothly in some cases during gameplay, you will eventually get random ping increases and bad connections or extreme lag. wireless will prob never be as good as a direct connect wtih an ethernet cable. i like wireless, but i'll never use it as my primary or gaming rig since it's not nearly as fast or as reliable as direct connect. 🙂 dont worry, i know. i game on my wireles laptop. 🙂
