You need a wireless router wherever the wired signal makes it into the
house. From there, there are no wires to run at all. Wireless makes more
sense for lap tops and the like or for older construction where running
network is a problems. For new construction I would run network cable all
over the place along with phone, cable, and audio. Wires are cheap to add
now.
