ETHERNET
a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. Ethernet has since been refined to support higher bit rates, a greater number of nodes, and longer link distances, but retains much backward compatibility.
Ethernet is the de facto standard of networking. Most people only know about and use WiFi due to it's wide adoption from ease of use and ease of setup/installation (it's what your ISP sets up and provides for you). It has become so popular that even though many devices can still be wired using Ethernet many users end up using WiFi simply due to not knowing that there's an option. WiFi still has many benefits and is the only solution for many devices. However, when devices are capable of an Ethernet connection and are stationary devices, there's really no reason not to use Ethernet. Devices like, TVs, printers, desktop computers, game consoles and high end streaming players all have Ethernet connections and for good reason. Ethernet is the fastest, most stable, most reliable and most secure method of connection. Additionally, using Ethernet when and where able frees up WiFi bandwidth so that the devices that can only be on WiFi (such as phones, tables, laptops, etc.) have a better, faster and more reliable connection as well.
Many homes are were and still are wired for Ethernet, generally at TV locations and in bedrooms/offices. If not, or your in an older home, wiring can still be added to critical places with little to no remodeling work required. We are adamant about Ethernet because of our experience as the times and technology has changed. Ethernet, to this day, provides the best connection for a reliable, consistent experience for the end user and because it alleviates WiFi traffic it actually helps, not just the devices that are wired, but all devices on the network.
Lastly, nobody is really talking about it but WiFi is a radio frequency, which means it emits are certain amount of radiation into the environment in order to work. These frequencies are supposedly so minimal that they are not harmful. However, just like your cell phone, this comes with a disclaimer that no one reads. It is only intended to be used at certain distances and not for extended periods of time. Although it's unrealistic for most people to turn off their WiFi entirely, Ethernet can still help lessen the frequencies and noise in the air and minimizing any potential negative impacts. Additionally, it allows for periods where WiFi could be turned off, either for security, self control, or limiting children's use, but you could still use some devices, such as TVs and Printers.
