Jim,
I have run StreetSmart with wireless on my laptop, usually when
traveling although I can do it at home too. I didn't have any
problems but in general I don't trust wireless much and usually try
to get within about 5 feet of the "transmitter" (or whatever they're
called).
Although my friends think I'm just old fashioned, if you want
reliability, hardwired Ethernet is the only way to go.
