    WiFi performance Vs cable

    Thanks, that's quite encouraging. I may give this a try.

    WiFi performance Vs cable

    I use RDP extensively and also transfer some big files sometimes. I am happy with gigabit ethernet, might upgrade when it's cheap enough. I don't know how bad latency is affected on ethernet but I'm guessing not much as I don't notice RDP lagging.

    Interesting, are there any reviews showing WiFi 6 with sub 1ms latency when under load? Or maybe load conditions aren't that big of a deal, I'm not really sure.

    I don't know if it's just British houses. They are the smallest in Europe, and usually extremely badly designed. I've noticed that new homes in Japan often have things like coax and ethernet in most rooms.

    WiFi performance Vs cable

    Good tip. I was thinking of doing that anyway, it looks much nicer than having cable clipped on. I might need it anyway for an EV charger.

    WiFi performance Vs cable

    Yeah, we are starting to see that some have a single network point in the living room where the TV is expected to go. Many living rooms in brand new homes still have a fake fireplace, which tells you a lot about where we are at with 21st century living.

    Japanese homes are on average quite a bit larger than UK homes. In big cities there are some small apartments, but even the average size of a city apartment is larger than the UK. It's really a bit of a myth that they all live in tiny homes, and British people don't realize how bad we have it...

    Generally speaking bricks are an environmental disaster and stud walls at least make it easy to make changes. But the real issue with British houses is that they aren't really "designed" at all. The builders employ architectural engineers whose only concerns are making it as cheap as possible...

    WiFi performance Vs cable

    Yeah you see a lot of houses with cable on the outside here. It normally falls off the clips and starts to sag after a few years! In was thinking about it, maybe if we get air conditioning too because it's becoming needed thanks to global warming.

    WiFi performance Vs cable

    Thanks, that is a nice summary. It's probably not a new new house, just new to me. Being in the UK where all houses are stupid and badly made it's not easy to run cables. We don't really do stud walls, for example. Maybe I'll just have to pay someone to do the install. I was hoping that 5/6GHz...

    WiFi performance Vs cable

    Looking at buying a new house and don't really want to start drilling and cutting to install ethernet cable in every room. It's WiFi a reasonable replacement for hops between rooms? Say from downstairs to an upstairs room, or between upstairs rooms? I will be transferring files to/from a NAS...
