I only use ethernet for my computer and I don't even have a wifi card. Switching to a wired ethnernet only router might be the way to go. But there is still other concerns such as the Intel and AMD management engines.

Wi-Fi in 2023 Meteor Lake and 2024 Lunar Lake is integrated into the SoC. In older devices, an M.2 Wi-Fi radio can be physically removed.

  Are you talking about CNVi? It predates Meteor Lake by quite a bit. Also, the implementation on the SoC is only part of the WiFi stack, it still needs an additional RF chip.

    Thanks, didn't realize it went back to 8th gen. BT/WiFi split between SoC and PCIe device will be fun for IOMMU passthrough.

It doesn't matter. You probably don't live in the forest. You have neighbours, probably that kind of people that don't understand technology and buy the latest fancy TV, laptop, or allow the ISP to install whatever equipment they want "for free". BTW, how are you going to avoid installing the ONT from your ISP?

  copper is going to be around for a very long time, 20 years ago we were supposed to all have fiber in 10 years. Yeah, I will believe it when I see it. Also its possible from my understanding to use your own OST. At the very least you could just put it in a makeshift faraday cage. > You probably don't live in the forest. You have neighbours Lot of people in the United States live in very rural areas with their nearest neighbor being 5-10 miles away. The cheapest places to buy are also in rural areas. With the popularity of work from home rising, its not crazy to think a large amount of people will start living in secluded places. Anyway, packing like a sardine in a city is gross and for gross people. If you can't be happy alone in nature, don't deserve to be happy. Urbanites are the lowest species of human, with the highest crime rate and most drug use and homelessness. They are all depressed, neurotic freaks because they live in an environment where you xan't even see the stars in the night sky where there is constant noises every second of the day. No wonder these people all need anti depressants and anti anxiety medication.
