      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?

          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?

        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?
