I too, enjoy plugging a USB-C to A adapter into my Android phone so I can use an ethernet to USB adapter. :P
More seriously, two of the hard requirements of my house was fiber connection available from the ISP to the house and wired ethernet to the major rooms.
I call it WLAN, since WiFi is a brand name.
We are not the same.
IEEE 802.11 enjoyers rise up
“How come you haven’t upgraded your home network to wi-fi6?”
Because my ethernet is four times as fast for all the shit I need. (Although, realistically it maxes out at 8gbit)
Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.
Ethernet is good Internet to you because the alternative is WiFi.
Ethernet is bad Internet to me because the alternative is DWDM 800G per wavelength
We’re all the same.
Wi-Fi doesn’t mean Internet at all.
It’s just a wireless connection to other devices, one of which almost always (in colloquial use anyway) is a modem that has Internet access.
But it is not, in and of itself, a connection to the Internet.
Ethernet means good internet to you because the alternative is wifi.
Ethernet means bad Internet to me because the alternative is fiber.
We are not the same.
Fiber optic Ethernet…
Ethernet and fiber are not the same; they differ primarily in medium, speed, and distance capabilities. Ethernet typically uses copper cables to transmit electrical signals for short-range, local connections. Fiber uses glass strands to transmit light, offering much higher speeds, lower latency, and longer distances.
I wasted a gallon of water to have ai write that for you. Thanks
It was a waste because twisted pair copper and fiber are mediums. Fiber optical networking has Ethernet standards such as 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX/LX, 10GBASE-SR, and 10GBASE-LR.
This guy had an AI write him slop that is unsurprisingly factually incorrect. How tragic.
How are you supposed to surf the internet without an Ethernet cable to surf on? 🏄 or worse, no Dial-up jam to dance to
Talk to me when you get a station wagon plebs
As someone who has struggled with various forms of WiFi for a good three decades, WiFi can just fuck all the way off to the ninth circle of hell.
Even the rolling gut on my house has Cat7 planned beside every knee-level power plug in every room, with at least one fiber drop in every room as a high-bandwidth option. And my security will be 100% PoE on an airgapped network.
Hardlining really is the only way to network.
or a landliner 😉
I get 50 GB mobile data for 7 € every month. I wouldn’t even need WiFi for most cases. Only to save phone battery and download heavy stuff
You can get mobile wifi, which can be good internet.
huh? mobile hotspot is double-bad
Not a hotspot, mobile internet. Where a dedicated simcard goes into dedicated router hardware.
a wifi access point that gets online via a cellular network is called a mobile hotspot, regardless of if it’s running on a phone or a dedicated router device
Good enough t for browsing and watching stand, maybe. Good for games? Not a chance in hell.
