Riks exactly right.  Only use wireless when wired isn't feasable/possible. 
If you use a 100meg wired network you get more than enough speed and none
of the security worries that come with wireless.
What were your reasons for using Wireless in the first place?  Mobility?
Cost of cabling? Awkwardness of cabling?
