About wireless... it's only -good- when the wireless router is in the same room as the reciever (xbox360) is. When WIFI signals have to travel trough (multple) concrete walls / floors of houses, the signal will loose it's power (read: speed / latency) quite fast. The signal will still be there, but it throttles back in speed and latency as it gets weaker.
You will still be able to game online, but with FPS shooters it's -ALL- about latency. Ok, its less important on consoles then with PC fps games, but I would strongly recommend just go for the wire. It's cheaper and faster.
About the laptop method, remember you will always need a laptop around, and have it powered on while you game online.
Personally I would hate that after about 2 weeks.
