>But you guys are only addressing part of the equation, bandwidth, but the other part is that wireless connections have much higher latency than cabled ones

Ok, but I don't see this a a gaming machine where latency is deadly...
Throughput is quite important to me (but could be circumvented by starting big downloads earlier
or dedicated USB/LAN disks) but security has a big door open to hackers with patience
or knowledge of undiclosed weaknesses. Important to me at least:
If wireless is enabled here, it is in front of another router with NAT and FW,
just for surfing or reading files first put into DMZ. No way to operate for sensible data...
