Wireless Versus Ethernet

I'm an entry level IT technician at my new job. It's a small office of

14 computers, 13 of which are networked together.

My boss wants to get wireless ethernet as insurance in case of a lightning strike/hurricane/undetermined vague reasons.

This would mean removing the ethernet altogether to protect against lightning strikes.

I think he should just get an apcc lightning thing with ethernet jacks.

Ethernet is reliable as a network correct? Do we really need a wireless network for a small office? To me it seems like my boss is just listening to people trying to sell the latest and greatest thing.

What do you think?
