Wireless advantages - No wires, dah - makes it easy if there are walls in
the way.
Disadvantages - cost - more expensive then wired network. Security concerns.
Range of wireless sometimes a problem. Less bandwidth then wired network but
usually not an issue.

It is hard to get specific without knowing:
What OS you are running and what hardware you already have and what you want
to do with your network. I.e. just share files or share a high speed or even
(hope not) a low speed Internet connection.
