Curious whether you’re using wired or wireless to connect to your main working machine to the internet - if you have any specific reasons please share!
My broadband connection ended recently so I switched to 500Mbps for the same price… but my router only gives me 300Mbps wirelessly, hence wondering whether I should run an ethernet cable now that I have a desktop machine again (partly for the speed, partly for the health (slowly move away from wireless altogether)).
Yes, I would recommend running an Ethernet cable from your router to your desktop machine because it would help to reduce your EMF exposure. When using Wi-Fi, there’s a definite drop-off in performance. At this time, I’m using a Cat 7 Ethernet cable from my router to my laptop.
Got a gigabit Ethernet network connecting main PC, an M1 mini, and a few other boxes. Wi-Fi via a Mesh (for much improved reach) to laptops. Work laptop doesn’t have any Ethernet port, otherwise it too would be wired.
I work from home.
My work laptop is on Wifi, because it’s on my guest network, because I don’t want work’s device management crap able to access my private network, and I figure that 802.11X is overkill for a home network.
fwiw, I use Synology gear; I have a router and 3 access points in a wired mesh.
My personal laptop is usually wired, simply because my docking hub is wired.
I always prefer wired for health and speed. At work I use Ethernet with my MBA laptop ( 2 days a week) and at home (3 days a week) I currently have to use WiFi but I plan to pull Ethernet cables. Anyway there is an access point in the living room… This is not optimal for health but necessary for mobile devices.
