    Why not? I prefer a hard wired connection over wifi where possible any day. The speeds are more than adequate for 99.9% of needs, it’s pretty secure, what’s not to like?

      The speeds of wired ethernet are typically faster than wifi, and are consistantly more reliable.

      I’ve worked in RF for my entire career, and I’ll always recommend a wired solution as the best option unless the use case requires the hardware to be moving arbitrarily.

      Tell me how you didn’t read the article…

      Wifi (802.11) is a type of ethernet. Ethernet is the communication specification not the medium.
