Why you should always use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi (when possible)

Most devices in my house run on Wi-Fi, and for years I told myself that was fine. It wasn't fine—it just never failed badly enough to force the issue. Buffering I blamed on the streaming service. Smart home commands that went ignored I chalked up to the devices. Video calls that froze I blamed on the other person's connection. After replacing my mesh system with hardwired access points, I started plugging things into Ethernet just to see what would happen. Streaming locked in immediately. Smart home responses went from sluggish to instant. The whole setup felt like it had been running at half throttle this entire time. For anything that doesn't move, a cable is almost always the smarter call—and it costs less than most people expect.
