    Shitty wireless lets you stream shitty 4K. Yay? Copper is still king for anything that’s not a goddamn webrip.

      Wtf dude, that was the example you provided, and then you mocked it. Make up your mind.
      If it was a shitty example, why did you use it?

      What would be a good example of things people commonly want and have access to but that wireless cant do?

        They’re saying 50Mbps 4k is shitty, not that 4k is a bad example. Modern Wi-Fi can definitely handle high-bitrate video 99% of the time, but that 1% where someone turns on a microwave can cause hella buffering. If you have the ability to run ethernet there’s no benefit to using Wi-Fi.

          Why are you limited to 50Mbps 4k, if not limited by the server? I haven’t had an issue with microwaves in like a decade. Maybe it’s an issue for people with bachelor apartments where their router and microwave are on the same table?

          What do you consider a reliable connection?

          I just tested my connection to my ISP on my wireless gaming computer, and I got:
          2ms ping
          0ms jitter
          0% packet loss\

          500mbps down
          And almost those same numbers from my phone in the next room.

          So what do you consider the qualifications for “reliable” connect, if that doesn’t meet them?

              Lol wtf are you doing to your AP or PC that the signal suddenly “gets weak” 🤣
              That’s not an actual thing people have to worry about

                Oh you’re one of those people (I don’t face any issues, so everyone else must be also not facing any issues) I’ve had my Wifi Router just suddenly lose strength (& it was brand new)

                  Oh, you’re one of those people (I have an issue therefore everyone must have this issue too and there is a fundamental problem with the thing I have an issue with)
