I don't know if it supports wireless. It does have USB ports that may be used for a wireless USB adapter; if it does you would be far better off with N over G. But this really depends on the quality and compression of the content as well.

Questions remain: is the quality of one's wireless connection the key to picture quality? I have a new desktop on the top floor of my home, and am using a "G"-type router for my wireless. Will my ability to use the Boxee device be hampered by this, because it's not an "N"-type router? In short, what other costs are involved with Boxee, apart from the price of the hardware itself?
