Yes, but WiFi as another poster says meets 99.999% of users needs and it’s only getting better.

At some point cat6/e itself becomes OBE.

Work from home kind of make sense but wireless fine for that.  Gaming makes sense but there’s other variables to consider.

For a gaming pc if performance is paramount you could get a good NIC and run 6a or a fiber NIC/SFP+ setup and do a wired run assuming you have good gig speed ISP and fiber into your house.  Most carriers in dmv go fiber to copper demarc in your yard or nearby and copper into your house.

Agree.

I couldn’t find fiber so I ran cat6 everywhere, literally every room, a few years ago and now I ask myself….why?  A good WiFi setup and the only thing I use it for is POE cameras.

If you’ve got servers then run it to the server room, and two or three spots for WiFi and repeaters or antennas if your blasting it across your property. [/quote]

Wouldn't having cat6 run to TVs reduce latency and remove any delays compared to WiFi?
