• Modern wifi is actually pretty good now, assuming your OS doesn’t constsntly look for hotspots after you’re connected. IDK if Windows still does that, but disabling the polling service once I was connected was mandatory to not get hitches or lag every 30 seconds back in the days of XP and 7.

    Amusingly, modern wifi can offer higher speeds than Ethernet for the same level of effort. Most home Ethernet is still 10/100/1000. That’s megabit, not megabyte. 2.5 gbps and faster nics are not commonplace for both computer and routers/switches/hubs.

    You’re never going to see 46 gbps on wifi 7 in the real world, but it’s still way faster than 1 gbps.

    From someone with a NAS for photo/video editing and has looked into installing 10 gbps Ethernet.

    That’s… not how you use that meme. This is already the second time I see someone use that meme weirdly wrong.

    You and the other person are supposed to do the exact same thing, but for different reasons and usually yours are more controversial. Like in this post it does not make sense at all.
