Tbf this is the universes way of punishing you for using your computer and console on wifi

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

My rule is if the device doesn't move much (or at all), it should have a wired connection.

Basically my phone and my watch are the only devices in the house on WiFi.

[-] Toes@ani.social 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, anything sensitive to latency will have a wired connection in my home. It's non-negotiable.

I've got my watch on ethernet. The connection is rock solid, but it's a bugger to get around.

Remember those curly telephone cords that stretched out to like 40ft when your mom walked around the house while on the phone and you had to dodge the cord like Catherine Zeta-Jones in Entrapment? And then the cord shrunk back to like 8ft when she hung the phone back on the cradle on the wall. And the next time your mom hung up the phone, the cord was like 10ft long with a bunch of kinks and twists. And the next time she hung the cord was like 12ft long and starting to bunch on the floor. And eventually there was like 30ft of telephone cord on the floor under the cradle that just gets kicked out of the way into the nearest corner and collects dust bunnies until the next time the phone rings and your mom answers and walks all around the house like she always does. (I could keep going but I don't know where it will end.) Remember those curly telephone cords?

You need a curly ethernet cord like that for your watch. It could help to get around.

Also, what model watch do you have that has an ethernet port? My watch works fine but my gf is always complaining about a rock solid connection so I'm thinking about getting a new one.

Oh to have possible cable access

[-] Toes@ani.social 7 points 10 months ago

Gotta make it happen it's a huge improvement, even if that means running a big cable taped to the wall

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Run it down the hall and throw a runner rug over it!

[-] Toes@ani.social 3 points 10 months ago

just make sure if you do that, its an armoured cable (not the flat ones!), so crushing it doesn't hurt the cable.

[-] Yarmin@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

you can get extra wide duct tape and make a channel in the corner of your ceiling and wall to run lots of cables as well

[-] AgnosticMammal@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Powerline ethernet to the rescue!

[-] PeterLossGeorgeWall@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

Also possible to do if you have multiple coax outlets in your building.
