Hi Duncan,
We might be the last hold outs on wireless :-)
You could be very correct! But, I suspect that there are still many
"lurkers" and others that still play "wired". Perhaps not "wired-only"
like I choose to live, .....but, whatever............. The planet continues
to rotate, I think..................... :)
Anyway, the last network class I took at the University I was
attending ( about 2 years ago now ) one of the things talked about by the
prof was that basically the point wasn't that wireless networking didn't
always work well, but that it worked at all. There are so many things
that can go wrong with it.
You are now 1 great step above me. All that I have learned/gleaned about
"network" came to me via past experience and this List channel. I will
admit "somewhat confused" for my comprehension and shares since ~198x, but,
so far my wired network remains solid....(mostly)..... :)
I guess the thing that has always appealed to me with a wired network is
that it has collision detection vs collision avoidance that wireless has
to use.
Agree completely. And, mostly why I chose Intel for NICs after reading
many hours of List traffic way back when...... I always believed that
letting "whatever" network devices "fight-it-out" in a closed network
worked best. I am old school......... :)
My vision is way to poor ( I have Macular Degeneration ) to use a
laptop, so having a wired desktop pc is my best option. lol
Please do NOT apologize for any local situation. Not necessary. After all
these years, we have to believe ALL of us have gotten older. And, we all
are/will be subject to lifes possibilities. I do fear MD personally. If
it happens here, so be it............. still the best "wired" ride I have
ever had!
When I get around to doing a "home re-wire" I will jingle your addy for
suggestions........ just because you have already been there and done what
I still wish to do............... :)
My very best to you and yours!
Best,
Duncan
Regards....Gary

to pass:
Gary,
Like you, I share both your age and home design choices. No harm! No Foul !!!
I remain totally "wired" until someone can convince me otherwise.
You have me 1-up! My LAN is CAT6 IS running down the hall between my
GBit switches and router.
One day, I may hire the contractor to "put it in the walls."
Some day soon..................... :)
Thank you. I know someone else that "at present" does WIRED. I was
beginning to think I may have become a "last of a dying
breed"............Very nice to know that Wired is NOT such a BAD thing!!!
Best,
Duncan

When I had my house built, I was able to have the house wired for
Internet use in each room. For me at least, and possibly I am showing
my age, I am not a big fan of wireless. Yes, I know that it is the way
things are moving, but for me anyway...I prefer a wired lan and
probably will stay that way as much and for as long as possible.
Gary
P.S. As in all things....YMMV ;-)
