Ethernet is Still Going Strong After 50 Years::The technology has become the standard LAN worldwide
Ethernet is Still Going Strong After 50 Years::The technology has become the standard LAN worldwide
The speeds of wired ethernet are typically faster than wifi, and are consistantly more reliable.
I’ve worked in RF for my entire career, and I’ll always recommend a wired solution as the best option unless the use case requires the hardware to be moving arbitrarily.
If it doesn’t move… it deserves a hard line. No point in spending precious wireless capacity on something that’s so well served by a cable.
The amount of splitters I’d require and the cost of those splitters tends to be the thing that stops me from doing that
A basic 48 port switch is ~$200… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UBUJZG
I can guarantee that your house doesn’t need more than that.
And 8 port switch can be had for as cheap as $18… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A121WN6/
Hmm I’ll look more into that but I think I stand corrected so thanks for that info
