    Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.

    “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)

    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.

    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.

        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.

        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
