Non-existant or weak encryption on the Wifi Access Point (Router) will allow unauthorized parties to access your network through Wifi. Poor or non-existent firewalling will allow some parties to attack your network from the internet, and poor computer security (updates, antivirus, antimalware) can allow an attacker to exploit your computer or network through software flaws and user error.

Where can you purchase rouge access points?

A rogue access point is a wireless access point that is not authorized or controlled by the administrators of the network that it is connected to. Depending on the intended usage, it may or may not use the same SSID as the legitimate access points on the network. Rogue access points are considered a security risk, either because they can allow unauthorized access to the network, or because they may be connected through a sniffer in order to capture network traffic passing through them. Any access point can be considered a rouge access point if connected to the network in an unauthorized manner.

Is Ethernet more secure?

Ethernet is more "physically secure", in that it is sometimes more difficult to gain unauthorized access to a network, since you need to be in close physical proximity to a network cable. However, it does not require any form of cryptographic authentication to connect to a network, which can be optionally provided by wireless.
