I have a B-type wireless router with 4 additional ports. My typical
wireless connection is:

o Wireless Signal Strength: "Excellent"

o Network Connection Speed: 11 Mbps

o Internet Download Speed: 2,600-2,800 mbps

(1) Is there any reason to connect to my network by a CAT-5 cable, instead
of the wireless connection, when I am working in the room with the router?

(2) Is there any reason to connect to my network by both a CAT-5 cable and
the wireless connection when I am working in the room with the router?

TIA!

Internet Download Speed 2,600-2,800 mbps????? Don't you mean
2.6-2.8mbps? The best cable service I have seen is 3.0 mbps. The 11
mbps speed of your 802.11b is more than enough to handle internet
traffic.
