Why does it matter?!

30 Jan 2025

Most of my work is in aviation and avionics where wifi is plage along with 'on the go' usb ports on routers so almost 99% is WIRED, and wifi turned off! This type of paranoia extends in my SmartHab project. We don't want my house security to be snooped or hacked! So in the long run matter does not mater. It's a hole you can't close! Wifi is the hole you can't close the door once you open it. Like a wifi printer on you desk, are you that lazy that you can't run a usb cable 3 feet? ~~ Cris H

    At my home, between the multiple PCs, Fire TVs, tablets, printers, Wifi connected cameras, lighting controls, printers, cell phones, motion detectors, even my patio smoker/grill is wifi & BLE connected.  Hardwired is not practical except for protected devices, like a dedicated transactional PC.

     shabaz  "Hehe controversial!" THANK YOU SO MUCH. My HP Old Office Jet only has a Centronics Connector, So I fixed it with HP Jet-Direct Print server, my Brother MCF9970CDW color beast, is another Laser, I love it. and it has a Ethernet Port which even supports cups!. The biggest problem is that is if one of the 4 colors is low it will not even print B&W!!! the only wireless is between my Apartment upstairs 2 floor an my garage which is a work shop of sorts plus storage. But I was very careful its an encrypted VPN that runs on the MAC layer, So good luck chuck!

BTW I started with this madness when I had the ISP (still up -400+ customers. now 2 box on a 1Gb fiber line from ATT. I hate the price of the dam fingers and routing stuff. Price is about 30$ / 6' where PVC is $5+ for a 10" of 2".
