But I wasn't very knowledgeable about wireless as I am now when I had my primary residence built and I didn't have time to work through heat maps for my vacation property before it was built; plus the builder for the vacation property was charging way too much per drop.

Anyways, much of my time is spent on my laptop connected wirelessly; even though I have connectivity to my edge devices running at 1 GigE, quite a few connections between switches and servers on 10 GigE, and a couple of servers on 40 GigE.
I utilize my wired connections and run 3 Apple AC routers which seamlessly pass the wireless signal.

They have been saying wifi will displace hard wires for about 20 years now.
