Good wireless is expensive, and not maintenance free. This is at least true in any business setting. At home, wireless is simply fantastic for mobile devices, but wiring in fixed items (PC, consoles, TVs) is 100% the way to go. Also, being conscious of what's in the air space is as crucial as the quality of your wireless equipment. It's all for nought if your microwave, AV sender, bluetooth headset or crappy 2.4Ghz wireless mouse is shitting into the same airspace as your network connection. I say all of this as someone that pushed HARD to switch our office from wired to wireless when we moved. Aside from the direct cost saving (~200k in wiring alone) the side benefits of things like not having to use a crappy 'presentation PC' in each meeting room was a complete revolution. You just bring your laptop, and it's not even going to shit itself roaming from wired to wireless because boom, you were on wireles the entire time anyway. Same principle about wiring in fixed items applied though, we put fancy ipad meeting room control stuff in, and dropped extra on ethernet adapters for them because they're fixed devices, wireless is not a good choice for that despite ipads being wireless devices primarily. Lack of visibility is probably the biggest shortcoming for enthusiast-level home wireless. I've had good outcomes buying ex-business Aruba gear and repurposing it for home use, but it's power hungry and you need to know what you're doing to get it off the ground. But being able to actually see what's sitting in the spectrum and watch the impact of things like turning on the microwave for ten seconds is a game changer.
