Wired sounds like something you would like the idea of/enjoy so I guess I would go for it. Certainly nothing wrong with it, most likely something I would not mind myself.
I dont see the need in a 2400 sq ft house and wonder as another posted if it will be a thing of the past. Heck, I would need a special adapter for my 2 Macs in order to plug an Ethernet cable into.
You do not say what kind of speed you are thinking but would imagine wifi will keep up with the technology especially a home.
(I'm no expert just know how happy I am with the wifi set up in my home)
We have 18 wireless devices always showing on the router GUI and another 10 that are powered down, 28 in all, includes 6 Roku players it could be 5 but think my wife corrected me to 6. Throw in 4 security cameras and 1 DB cam, range never an issue, keeping in mind the router is central main floor closet.
Todays speed test, done in a 3000 sq ft home in 2nd floor home office Mac mini, Motorola 2600 Router central on first floor. I pay Spectrum for 100/10 or 12 service and get typically 117/12 (too long a story)
But after a recent service visit for some strange reason a few days later I went up double the download speed for no reason. I suspect it wont last and will be back to 117 which is all we need and all we are willing to pay for.
Go figure ... good luck with your home, we kind of but not quite have the itch to move to northern gulf coast of Florida. 15 years ago we came to SC from NY, for warmer weather, now that is feeling too cold in the winters here. Summers are actually hotter here but we love it. Darn homes have gone up so much in FL.
Todays speed test over our 5ghz Wifi Signal level is around -57db where this computer is.
