Well, you may be correct, or possibly not. Of course, it's well known that portable phones or microwaves on the same frequency can greatly affect reception/speed for wireless internet, so I'm not so certain this is a non issue. What got me interested is this thread:

Apart from that, as I understand it, wireless broadcast requires a fair amount of electrical usage. When batteries were not as good as they are now, it was commonplace to turn off your wireless to conserve your laptop's battery, as that was the main drain on the battery. So why leave it on and consume extra energy for the life of the machine when I have no need for it as it stands?
Lastly, although I use ethernet at home, my wife uses wireless with her laptop, and she has noticed a significant deterioration of performance lately. I think it's probably an inferior router/modem combo, but after reading that thread, maybe it is in fact the the printer, as she sits a couple feet from it when in the TV room.
