The question is far too general in nature as one can have a very simple wireless network and a very complex wired network and vice versa.</div>

Generally for home and SOHO use I would think wireless is pretty straightforward for a basic setup ( DHCP, dynamic IP address for the internet, WPA2 encryption, SSID broadcast ).</div>

<div class="PlainText">With advances in networking technologies, the question could elicit a correct response in both camps.<br>
<br>
A simple wired network can be setup between two devices by simply connecting two devices with a NIC/Ethernet ports using an Ethernet cable. No need for a switch.<br>
<br>
A simple wireless network can be setup by connecting devices to a 'personal hotspot'.<br>
<br>
Also depends on how you define easier....<br>

You can't have wireless network without wired network. Wireless has to be wired somewhere.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
If a student asked you which was easier to setup a wired network or a wireless network what would your answer be?<br>
<br>
I chose wired<br>
