Hi Duncan,
We might be the last hold outs on wireless :-) Anyway, the last
network class I took at the University I was attending ( about 2 years ago
now ) one of the things talked about by the prof was that basically the
point wasn't that wireless networking didn't always work well, but that it
worked at all. There are so many things that can go wrong with it. I
guess the thing that has always appealed to me with a wired network is that
it has collision detection vs collision avoidance that wireless has to
use. My vision is way to poor ( I have Macular Degeneration ) to use a
laptop, so having a wired desktop pc is my best option. lol
Regards....Gary

Gary,
Like you, I share both your age and home design choices. No harm! No Foul !!!
I remain totally "wired" until someone can convince me otherwise.
You have me 1-up! My LAN is CAT6 IS running down the hall between my GBit
switches and router.
One day, I may hire the contractor to "put it in the walls."
Some day soon..................... :)
Thank you. I know someone else that "at present" does WIRED. I was
beginning to think I may have become a "last of a dying
breed"............Very nice to know that Wired is NOT such a BAD thing!!!
Best,
Duncan

When I had my house built, I was able to have the house wired for
Internet use in each room. For me at least, and possibly I am showing
my age, I am not a big fan of wireless. Yes, I know that it is the way
things are moving, but for me anyway...I prefer a wired lan and probably
will stay that way as much and for as long as possible.
Gary
P.S. As in all things....YMMV ;-)
