I play CSS/BF2/COD2/whatever on a 11mbits wireless crapo USB adapter with 3m of extension cord so it sits in the hallway and has a connection. It really depends how many walls it has to go through, and if its straight going through walls or angled.

You will tend to have a higher ping on wireless compared to a wired connection.

If you are serious about your gaming I would probably try and stick to a wired connection, but it is possible to play (acceptably) over a wireless connection.

I played on the OCC CS:S server without much of a ping and played some other FPS games online with a wireless connection and never had any lagging problems.

 

It really depends on the hardware you get. If you have a decent router and a good wireless networking card, you shouldn't have any problems.

I live in a house of 3 stories and on the top story is my internet source and I'm all the way down in the basement with a 56mb/s Linksys wireless card. I get pretty darn good ping down here in CS:S, no problems at all.

I play BF2142 with my laptop which has a built in 54G card and have it connect to a linksys wireless G router and get a pretty good ping. When I use my wireless N router it works even better.

 

But anyways that router should be good since it can go up to 54mbps. Get a 54G wireless adapter for your computer.
