That’s interesting, I haven’t seen that at all personally.

But Wi-Fi reliability and performance is very much dependent on the environment you are in.



Agreed on that. A friend of mine was recently renovating his house on a budget, and I pushed him really hard to put in ethernet. Somewhere on our third discussion, I realized:

- he lives on a 5acre tract in the absolute middle of nowhere. He can see other houses from his, but not many--and subdivision of those properties is prohibited. - neither he nor his family are big gamers or streamers - the best internet service he can get is Starlink, by a significant margin.

In a low-noise environment like that, wi-fi was going to work fantastically well for all his anticipated uses and then some. There was literally no point in installing Ethernet for him, while I've been longing for ethernet for years.
