> The other bit of advice that is buried in there that no-one wants to hear for residences is the best way to speed up your Wi-Fi is to not use it. You might think it's convenient to have your TV connect to Netflix via WiFi and it is, but it is going to make everything else that really needs the Wi-Fi slower. It's a much better answer to hook up everything on Ethernet that you possibly can than it is to follow the more traveled route of more channels and more congestion with mesh Wi-Fi.

Absolutely. Everything other than cell phones and laptops-not-at-a-desk should be on Ethernet.

I had wires run in 2020 when I started doing even more video calls. Huge improvement in usability.
