NetFlix wired or wireless?

I am a U-Verse subscriber who would like to access NetFlix with whatever connectivity method will give me the best video-least hassle result.  Available options appear to be wireless signal from 2Wire Gateway to Roku or other device, or USB from Gateway to house 110 V wires via Logitech Powerline or equivalent adapters then USB to Roku.  Any and all views and suggestions will be appreciated.

My Device: works just fine, thank you.
Re: NetFlix wired or wireless?

If I'm not mistaken the USB port on the gateway is strictly for use with a computer without a network adapter.

 

I was not aware they had USB over powerline adapters, but I know they have ethernet over powerline adapters.

 

As far as what's better for streaming, IMHO a wired connection is always going to be better than wireless.
