Yes, that's an issue that is sometimes overlooked -- just because something is wired, doesn't necessarily make it tolerable.  I've had terrible reactions to DSL signals traveling over phone lines, also some wired ethernet switches are less tolerable than others, etc.  I don't really have any direct experience with a router/switch combination, as usually the modems I buy also have routers and switches built into them.

I vacationed in a rental home over the summer, and the wi-fi router they had in the house had a physical on/off switch for the wi-fi -- that seems preferable to a software switch which may get reconfigured back to on without you knowing it.
