Indeed… why not use wireless? Turns out, my wireless connection (compared to wired ethernet) is -faster-! And, when I’m at my 4-land QTH, my only internet service is via an Xfinity hot spot, which I can purchase by the hour, day, week, or month, as needed. The only aspect about that service is that it is enabled on a single device, so we use my wife’s laptop whilst there.
