There is No reason to get Wire only Router since they cost the same (and
sometimes even more) than Wireless Routers.

I can see one very good reason for getting a Wire only Router, Security.
If you don't need or use the wireless section then not having it makes
the router much more secure. I don't think any wireless routers come
with the wireless section disabled, and most default to a simple
security setting and password. Unless the user is smart enough to
disable the wireless or turn up the security and password the whole
neighborhood can use their connection. This may not seem much of a
problem unless someone uses your router for illegal activities and the
police come to your door.

Thus rather than being "Outcast" you would end up considered Not being
price/business savvy.

Just exactly how "deprived" should I feel if I had a router with no
wireless? Would that make me an outcast in polite society?
