Wireless
More and more people are taking advantage of wireless networking. Installed properly, it works well and saves cabling costs. Security is a necessary part of installing wireless networking. No security means outside access to network and hacking issues. WEP is not very secure but WPA does a better job. There is also 'networking over your house hydro wires' which is not advertised very much but works well in areas where wireless access fails.
