to me it was just too expensive and kinda bullshit with the wi fi adapter because i want the always ON connection not only when my computer is on... and its too expensive for what it is.... so i was looking to hardwire it but it seemed too expensive too... i figured i can get a wireless router and get online for the same price... and also add a wireless network at home... and i still have a wired router too.. just worked better for me... i would go the wireless router route ... just my recomendation....
