We just bought this house 14 years ago so I had it wired with cat5
basement to attic and there are GigE switches on both ends.

I've wondered this more than once myself, but don't use mobile devices
to have that experience or interest. One of my kids whose music teacher
was glued to a SIM-dependant service that could still use IP for bulk
data complained about reliability but wouldn't accept that wireless was
the problem and switch to a wired service.

I had a WNDR3800 refurb that had some intermittent hardware issues to
the thing would need a hard reboot a couple of times a week to reset the
radios. The second identical new unit is behaving much better. :-)

Mine isn't quite as long, but I'm similarly not concerned about about
someone getting in, but have had some DoS issues... I can see at least
a couple dozen neighbouring APs here, including occasionally the pub
facing us across the river. ;-)
