Yea WiFi is definitely great for certain things, but not everything. My wife has friends over at the house from time to time, and some of them ask why I'd rather run a cable from the router to my computer instead of just using WiFi. It's easy enough to explain, but because they are not all that technical, it's hard for them to understand, I guess....
For me it’s more that I have enough devices that if they were all on WiFi they would be eating all the airtime and the devices that need WiFi would have worse bandwidth.
