    Amusingly, modern wifi can offer higher speeds than Ethernet for the same level of effort. Most home Ethernet is still 10/100/1000. That’s megabit, not megabyte. 2.5 gbps and faster nics are not commonplace for both computer and routers/switches/hubs.

    You’re never going to see 46 gbps on wifi 7 in the real world, but it’s still way faster than 1 gbps.

    From someone with a NAS for photo/video editing and has looked into installing 10 gbps Ethernet.

      My motherboard has a 2.5G switch iirc. But they layout of my house just puts too many walls between the PC and the router, so I bought a 50ft cable and the wife loves it!
