There are no problems with a non-wireless lan itself. The only issues are the technical dept. on ensuring they kepp up with distributing the latest security updates, service packs and maintaining the latest virus definitions. A non-wireless LAN is MORE SECURE and more stable than a security breachable wireless lan.

It all comes down to the IT dept and the way they manage their systems.

Biggest common problems in a cabled LAN in decreasing order:

Idiot users,

Stupid techs, usually mis-entering settings,

Dumb installers,

Faulty hardware.
