Re: Future Proofing home networks

When I had to swap my Samsung GS3 at ATT it couldn't download the simple activation files on their wifi in the store, there was too many other devices eating the spectrum, BestBuy is just as bad. I try to wire all I can.

Problem is there are some devices that must use wireless such as ipods and ipads and smart phones. In this portable era wireless for other tablets and laptops is nice too. Wired is good for blu-ray players or stationary smart TVs and desktops that stay in one place so you can figure wires for those or additional APs .
