    I literally just had a conversation with an IT friend who knows more networking than me (I’m more of a generalist), and he basically told me that Wifi is basically impossible to make as bulletproof as wired. I got so fed up with wifi periodically just crapping out.

    I’m like, "so… It’s like printers all over again? Nobody can make one that just is bulletproof? "

    He’s like… “Well, nothings as bad as printers, let’s not go crazy here. But yeah, you can’t make wireless as reliable as wired.”

      Absolutely, you can’t shield a wireless connection from interference like you can with a wired connection, that’s why I prefer to use them, but everything wants to be WiFi only now!
