Internal wireless cards work better than USB NICs.

Wired is still far more reliable than wireless.


No argument from me on that. NIC's on Mo Bo?

ISP's change, technology changes software, etc.

I have ADSL, a Cisco router ~ 10 years old. I do see latency on
wireless -- not so much on a wired unit.

I haven't found the need for the 100 mbps for what I do.


I have installed 1000 base-T hubs at customer sites
and haven't noticed much of a change over 100 base-T


It is hard to keep the pipe full with the things most people do but
you will see a difference in big file transfers like backing up a
drive. I know when I hit a 100m leg I really see things slow down.
I am migrating to 1g everywhere as fast as I can but I still have a
lot of old stuff here.
