But to answer your title question, you won't lose any speed by using wireless as long as the wireless is faster than your ISP connection. Generally wireless is fine up until you start getting into the 50mbps range. At that point, if you must go wireless, you will need to look into newer/better wireless hardware (802.11ac).

The problem with the new wireless hardware is that your old devices won't get this speed. So its not a bad investment over the longer term but realize that its probably not going to make much of a difference.
