Anthony,
I suppose the main fear is security. I just do not wish to become an RF
transmission site. Yes, I am aware that encryption tech has improved
over the years, but, I just do not care to share my keystrokes in free
space.
Yes, I do use a 5.8GHz telephone. But, I do not spend much time on the
phone. Besides, most of my phone traffic is robo-political calls and
saying "No" to various charities seeking contributions....... :)
Additionally, I noticed that when I upgraded to my current DGL-4300
router, and tested its' WIFI side, I found a few too many strong
hot-spots in my neighborhood.
I will watch WIFI as it improves and matures. I do believe that service
providers may drive me to WIFI in the future anyway (ATT is already!).
But, until wired LAN is restricted to only commercial/industrial space,
I will stay wired-only.
Let's just call this my "tin-hat" issue.
Best,
Duncan

TNX. I've always known you were into it all... :)
Logic for WIFI makes sense; though I still fear it.

Wireless is great for any device you don't want to be tethered on, but
nothing beats the performance, security, and reliability of good old
fashioned twisted pair.

Subject: [H] Open question?
Is it fair for me to NOW believe that the majority of this LIST is now
actively
using WIFI for their internal home LANs?
No. I do not wish to start a firestorm with those that use both!
The basic question is about the use of WIFI....... :)
(Are there many of us old fools still using only wired CAT5/6 LANs?)
Just wondering?
Best,
Duncan
