Wireless is ok, but personally I prefer USB lan adapter. Better response time, and the wireless lan overlaps with blue tooth, so if you have a bunch of wii remotes (or wii classic connected to wii remotes) doing on line they interfere a little with each other.

But wireless internet uses radio waves doesn't it?

 

 

Exactly, just like bluetooth.  Actually not just like bluetooth, as bluetooth hops away and tries again, and wi-fi slows down and tries again when there is loss.

The single 22 MHz-wide Wi-Fi channel occupies the same frequency space as 22 of the 79 Bluetooth channels which are 1 MHz wide. When a Bluetooth transmission occurs on a frequency that lies within the frequency space occupied by a simultaneous Wi-Fi transmission, some level of interference can occur, causing problems for both lag in games and unresponsive controllers.

As there is measurable slowdown using a wireless connection compared to wired ethernet when the wii remotes are idle, just think how much worse it is when playing a game and moving the the wiiremotes around transmitting all that data over overlapping channels.
