I'd always say use wired ethernet (with shielded cable) in or near the shack, a WiFi router or access point there is fine for things like your phone and tablets, but for radios, logging/controlling PC's etc. it's way too unreliable when you start operating. It's so annoying when your WiFi router crashes and reboots in the middle of a contest or even just disconnects intermittently whenever you transmit on a certain band, etc.
If you must use wireless, I'd recommend having a WiFi bridge or access point as far away from your transmitting equipment, coax etc. as possible and use cables from there to the rest of the shack. 73, Thomas OZ5TN (aka M0TRN, AF7BE) On Wed, 9 Sep 2020, 17:31 Pete Meier via Elecraft, <[email protected]> wrote: > The K4 has an eithernet port for remote operations.
