Ethernet is Still Going Strong After 50 Years

@[email protected] · 10 months ago

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
