For direct camera control and tethered shooting Sofortbild takes some beating, Lightroom works OK but not as good as Sofortbild in my opinion which it seems does support wi-fi, for some cameras at least.

I have taken something like 3500 images with the D200 and Sofortbild copying text for OCR purposes and to create PDF's. Direct wired of course, couldn't be bothered with wi-fi, it's OK for minor stuff like laptops and 'phones but not for serious stuff, too much mucking about...
My old Nikon P3 was wi-fi but hugely unreliable. Gave up on that after a couple of attempts. I like something tangible, like a wire!
I think it's really why you want to do it.
Transferring files from camera to computer via wifi is just a drain on camera battery. Still prefer a card reader.
Remote shooting has always bothered me. I wouldn't leave my camera outdoors in public alone and retreat any distance away!!
Yes there are situations when stepping away from the camera to operate it are necessary and an advantage...but not my first choice.
