I love how I can come to HN to instantly find out if it’s Netflix or my WiFi.

Wifi wifi or wifi as in your ISP Internet connection? Sp many people now call an Internet connection "wifi".

Anyway, network cable is the only way to go!

"Many people", those who call their ISP connection WiFi, are technology potato's.

To be fair, a lot of people pay their ISP for a modem/router combo and connect to something like "Xfinity" at their house. So to them, there is no difference.

They may not know technology, but most of those potatoes at least know the difference between a plural and a possessive noun.
