I tried them in the past. Not sure they carry more than 100 mbps, but wiring is easier and more secure. Since most of the need is concentrated in one room, there's not a lot of pressure to find alternatives

It's not the sole (or really a major) consideration. I actually have two wireless printers (a Dell and a Brother AIO), but since they're in the same room, wired is much easier.
Most routers come with wi-fi built in. On occasion, I like to use a laptop out at the pool, or friends dropping in (not much of that these days) can access the internet wirelessly with little hassle, so there's that.
At any rate, my prime concern was accessing the 200 mbps speed.
