Quote from SuperCruz:
An interesting thread with good inputs.
Wireless seems to have trouble and one does get disconnected frequently. Is that correct?
Glad to see my thread has grown some.
Wireless=
Security Issues
Connectivity Issues
For email sure - for trading never, no chance. Wired is the only way to trade.
For you guys with two internet connections, do you have a dual wan router, or do you switch over manually?
Also, if you have cable internet and DSL, which one is your primary connection? I have both and these days am leaning toward DSL as my primary since it seems more stable.

No one really needs two internet connections these days aside from mobile internet. Take a laptop outside your house and you'll probably find couple of decent unencrypted wifi signals. I have AT&T for internet and my neighbor broadcasts his Comcast wifi without a password.
Also, I've been trading on a mac for a year now. I use IB for execution and Thinkorswim for charts. It's working out quite well. But it can't beat the ole Windows for trading. I don't like parallels so much.

The DSL router I use allows me to attach a wireless modem as backup 
no offense but...the biggest issue and safeguard is simply...have a 'sure stop' in place so you can even be 'snorkling in the pacific' and all will be secure with your trades...even if you are at the desk 2 feet away...a 'sure stop' will be your 'safeguard' if you computer blows up or melts down at that point...it is really not that involved...
