Re: My addition will take almost 2 miles of Cat 6 said by TheTechGuru:Soon your microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine will be connected to CAT5/RJ45.
Actually no, they'll be on WiFi even with your picture proving wired > wireless. It's not like the washing machine will need to download/upload a 1080p copy of Avatar. |

It may not need to (and likely won't), BUT it WILL be accused of doing so. |

But that could be a major interference problem if one is in a apartment/condo complex and everyone in it has one.

Wifi technology will adapt.
But you'll never see a fridge with RJ45. |

| said by alkizmo:Wifi technology will adapt. It'll be too little too late. Around here, channels 8+ are completely unusable due to noise/interference, and there are well over a dozen access points within range on channels 1-7. Everyone's constantly having their devices kicked off for one reason or another. It's generally not too bad, but can be really annoying if you're in the middle of a game or streaming a movie or something. 5GHz "N" has been out for years now but the devices which support it are few and far between. 802.11ac is gonna do jack shit due to the sheer number of channels they're talking about bonding (it'll be just as congested as 2.4GHz is now).
said by alkizmo:But you'll never see a fridge with RJ45. Where technology is concerned, never say never. Or are you trying to say they'll skip the puny copper and go right to fiber?

Your information is apparently already a decade out of date. While I do agree it's more likely wireless (802.11 or otherwise) will be more mainstream with kitchen appliances, never say never until doing a quick search. |

OH effing PLEASE
That's an exception.
AND it's from 2002, when RJ45 for networking made more sense |

That was the oldest reference I saw from a 5 second search. Never has already happened, and in the use case of providing video it even makes a tad bit of sense. |

1999, you can imagine it was RJ45.
But the point being is: We won't see it go that way. These fridges were mad-science internet boom attempts at marketing junk. The reality of things is that we won't see technology evolve where appliances can connect to the web and need RJ45. RJ45 isn't a functional connectivity method for the typical home, WIFI is.
Broadband is another topic all together. |

2.4 wireless is quite congested around here in south Cali.

10 years ago?
What?
Which fridge?
And what's the point?
My car's on Bluetooth, why aren't the fridges too? |

Sorry, but you are wrong on that one. I have already seen that at the local Fry's Electronic store. Interestingly enough when I worked at Fujitsu in 1999/2000 they had a concept of an e-fridge and I believe they had a working prototype. It had a barcode scanner and a network jack and you would scan stuff as it went in and scanned it when it was empty. That way you kept track of stuff. |

I really don't remember. I don't think it was as long as 10 years ago but it might have been. The one thing I do clearly remember is the thought that immediately popped into my head: "Oh no, I didn't wire the kitchen!".

LG makes one similar - tied into a grocery service, even, so you can make a shopping list or order stuff straight from the touch screen on the door... I helped install a bunch of them in a high-end condo development a friend of mine worked on. |

Those Samsung ones are more recent products. I looked at one of those as well (for curiosity, not with the intend to buy) and based on where the wireless antenna was located was wondering how well it would work. It seemed to me that the stainless steel exterior would block most of the wireless signal ?
