    People who value their sanity. WiFi is unreliable.

      Yeah, wireless printers can eat my refuse. I just spent a fruitless hour fixing my neighbours printer. Their crime? Restarting the router spooked the printer connection to the network. Shit system integration and poor documentation make this job needlessly painful.

        I have a wireless Canon. Has worked flawlessly for years. Never had any issues. Replace the ink every now and again and it keeps chugging.

          I believe you. We can make wireless stuff work if we really want to. My Bluetooth headset links with the phone perfectly every time. Attempt the same trick with Teams on a PC, forget about it. Wifi generally seems quite solid these days but if I get a choice I will use ethernet. It would have to be really bad to warrant going back to wired headphones but with a printer, meh. I don’t walk around my house with it and run a few copies from the kitchen.

            Partner hasn’t had issues either actually. Normally I’m in full agreeance about printers, and wifi printers. But this one has been solid.

      Eh, for SOHO users with a clear 2.4GHz space, probably works well enough. But for us IT people… We Know
