Even with that, the WDTV is horrible for anything internet. My first choice for a dream setup would be a fast HTPC, but it's just too many $.
Wired is always preferred and my Chromebox is running with a wired connection. My RaspPi2 has a simple n300 USB adapter and works fine. I do have a DHCP reservation set up for it but it has never missed a beat due to the network connection since I installed it a couple of years ago.
