Beth, play it simple. Keep with “wired networks” for Wireless internet. You won't need to worry about hackers getting into your network by parking close to your home, tapping into your network because of possible security holes, and you'll be able to use Wireless Internet connection.

However, as with any broadband/dialup connection and I mean any connection, you will want to have your router set as secure as possible by turning off all unnecessary ports access via the firewall on the router. And you still need a personal firewall on your computer (ZoneAlarm is best), anti-virus, and anti-spyware software.
