    I feel wifi is more simple though? No need to run cables through walls, or worse, out in the open or use additional equipment like switches. Just plug it in and connect.

      Is it more simple in that it requires less physical stuff. Sure. But it’s impossible to get the wifi to be as good as wired provided you’re jacked into the modem (switch) itself.

      It can get almost as good though with modern tech.

        I’m limited by my ether port and switch to Gigabit, usually ~950 Mbps, but I can get ~1100 Mbps, which is the ISPs limit, over WiFi. So if you only have Gigabit ethernet components, but a bit over Gigabit internet, WiFi can be faster. Not nearly as stable, though.

        I don’t need as good. What am I going to do with 1Gb/s? My internet is 100Mb/s

        The connection in the other room has 1-2ms delay. The wired connection has 0.5ms delay so it’s not even a full 1 ms advantage in latency.
