Yep - that way you can support both wired and WiFI devices on the same network. For example, I have the streaming boxes on my home network connected via CAT6 but then all the phones, laptops, and tablets are connected via WiFi. The streaming boxes can take advantage of the higher bandwidth and reliability of the wired connection, freeing up the WiFi for the mobile devices.
It doesn't necessarily all need to come from the same router but it does need to be on the same network segment for all the devices to talk to each other. Easiest way to do that is to have them all served by the same DCHP host, which for most people is their router. --------- Brian On Sun, Apr 28, 2019 at 4:43 PM Winterlight <winterli...@winterlight.org> wrote: > Is there any advantage in using both wifi and Ethernet on the same > router>cable modem?
