[Cerowrt-devel] USB3 or HDMI ethernet? - Are wires dead?

[Luis E. Garcia]

I agree with Michael - wired Ethernet is very stable  compared with
Wireless.
In crowed places where everyone has a WiFi router - the WiFi will
experience random drops.
There is the inconvenient of cabling the place up - but the stability is
very much worth it - but I've using PowerLine adapters to ease my way
through for a couple of years now and they've always proven more reliable
than WiFi - but they do tend to have a bandwidth cap.

Let´s agree to disagree.
