Your laptop is not magic, it will only get those speeds with the right access point and if you are close enough to it.
If you carry your laptop someplace else it might not find itself in such ideal conditions.
- jeffbee 5y agoWhat a bizarre retort. It should also be fairly obvious that if you carry your laptop somewhere else you're not going to be able to reach it with the ethernet cable, either.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoWhy not? They come up to 300 feet long, in all colors, optionally flat and thin and easily deliver more speed than any (current) WiFi can.
- iSnow 5y agoBecause usually, you can't just throw a 100m cable through a building and plug it just into some Ethernet socket. And who wants to carry around a spool of cable?

- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoYah, well, Mondo2000, California... probably got some inspiration there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONDO_2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONDO_2000 :-)
- pantalaimon 5y agoIf you have a good WiFi network at home, that's great when your laptop is at home, but if you carry it outside your home you are at the mercy of whatever infrastructure you find there. Usually if you need to transfer large amounts of data you can still plug in an Ethernet cable in e.g. an office.
