To calibrate the discussion, you can get 10GB/s Wifi 7 these days spending less than $200 on a router. No need to drill a single hole in your house/apartment.

Ethernet is dead for home usage. I wish companies gave a damn, but no, for the past 25 years we are stuck at 1GB/s. Only recently some laptops and motherboards started shipping with 2.5GB/s ethernet options.

If you need internet for work related audio/video conferencing, and you share your screen, wired is the way to go. Over time you can tell which colleagues are on wireless and those that are wired in.

Perhaps you're making the case that wifi7 is as good or better than wired but I would argue that depends on your physical setup and possible interference issues.

Please tell me what your ISP is. I don't even have 300mb upload in the San Francisco Bay area.

lol, I have 40 megabit upload

You aren’t getting consistent 10gb out of wifi unless you’re sitting 2ft from the router and have nothing else on the network.

You couldn’t pay me to rip out my fiber and run strictly on wifi.

The correct solution to future proof has and probably always will be running some single mode fiber runs. The same cable would have taken you from 10mbit to 400gbit+.

The wireless standards you are using are ethernet my friend, ethernet is very alive :) and then there is backhaul, POE (30, 60, 90)

10gbps in wifi7 is great in theory but client hardware is normally 2 spacial streams, channel widths of 320 are impractical and cause me CCI even at home. Then a load of my stuff still uses 2.4. OT is a bit like that and isn't going to change. I have to share air time with my family other devicew, there are sometimes hidden nodes, DFS from the local airport.

500Mbps is more realistic.
