Interesting, because we have LOTS of wireless here at Virginia Tech
and oh yeah, it works fine. I'm on a wireless connenction right now.

The house I live in is 175 years old and is on the Federal Register of
Historic Places. The walls are 16" thick brick - even the interior
walls. Because the building is protected, I couldn't run a wired
network, so we went with wireless. It works fine, even through the
very thick walls and floors.

I think that wireless installations that are slow and/or unreliable
probably have configuration issues or interference from other sources.
