    “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)

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

        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
