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.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

You plug ethernet into your phone?
I do sometimes.
Teach us your ways
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.
My motherboard has a 2.5G switch iirc. But they layout of my house just puts too many walls between the PC and the router, so I bought a 50ft cable and the wife loves it!
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.
What about the phones
I use wifi from my mobile data, talk about unreliability
That's strange, I can't see any image.
If only my network worked as a mesh 😭
