It might be using some of the bawidth though
an 802.11g router only gives 54Mbps max, or 6.75MB shared between all the wireless devices, so if you've 10MB coming in and the phone steals some then your laptop will get less.
If you don't move around much wired is better than wireless, especially for video streaming .
