Given the choice, I'd definitely choose a cable for anything I know will require high internet usage. Wireless is just too slow, even on a 5G connection.

I still remember I once broke my Windows installation (young me had tried dual-booting the Windows 10 beta and my Windows 7 installation). I had to get system restored discs from the manufacturer. It wasn't particularly tricky to fix, but it took a long time to download those Windows updates after it finished. I noticed an immediate change once I remembered I had an old 30 ft. ethernet cable lying around and plugged it in. (This was maybe 8-10 years ago.)

I'm a cable guy too; it's just better. But you can't get quality CAT6 or better cables for $6.99 anymore.

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That one in the picture is $599 isn't it?

Until the clip breaks off...

You could have 30 clips break and it would still be cheaper.

What do you plug that cable into??

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Patch panel if you're on the closet side. RJ45 Jack on the station side.

And what is in the closet?

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Usually a two post rack or swing cabinet, some UPS back up batteries, network switches, a chubby telecom guy browsing lemmy.

Ya know, the usual.

Lol sounds like a typical home setup 😛
