    I personally like ethernet because it’s so reliable & I’ve never had any problems. In my house WiFi can be so unreliable, whereas ethernet has been nothing but awesome…

      Yeah for sure. I have both in my house and you just can’t beat ethernet. Wifi is great for taking the laptop to the couch though or for phones and such too

        Yea WiFi is definitely great for certain things, but not everything. My wife has friends over at the house from time to time, and some of them ask why I’d rather run a cable from the router to my computer instead of just using WiFi. It’s easy enough to explain, but because they are not all that technical, it’s hard for them to understand, I guess…

          For me it’s more that I have enough devices that if they were all on WiFi they would be eating all the airtime and the devices that need WiFi would have worse bandwidth.

      Same, with my house being a faraday cage from the aluminum siding and insulation WiFi is not happy in my home. I just switched from WiFi doorbells to PoE because they would disconnect every few minutes.
