Gaming and wifi
They aim to enhance Wi-Fi performance to meet consumer expectations for speed and reliability, especially in gaming environments. This focus often drives innovation and justifies higher costs.
Since not everyone has access to Ethernet at home, and many individuals lack awareness about it.
You can purchase the TP-LINK TL-PA4010PKIT and connect your devices via Ethernet through the cables. I actually use it for my outdoor cameras where Ethernet cables aren't available.
And since some switch processors lag behind WiFi's capabilities in certain situations, others use Cat5 cables that don't match the performance of 802.11ac or even 802.11n. Your budget device would actually lag compared to a much more expensive model because the wiring can't support speeds over 100Mbit. Switching to Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a or Cat7 changes everything, but the cost remains higher than your $3 device. This response was overly complicated for what was asked. I understand.
But that's quite a price for just one device. Also, for me, the performance gap between Ethernet and Wi-Fi isn't huge. Honestly, stop comparing Ethernet to something else—it only matters if you're in a place where your router is far away.
Attempted wired connection, noticed minor ping improvement but overall no significant change. Most users struggle with Ethernet setup, and many are either unfamiliar or resistant to adopting it.
I own a really slow night hawk router with a decent Wi-Fi card; my connection is just as strong as my wired setup. Over 200 Mbps speeds going out, same latency. These devices usually have high delay and depend on your home/APT setup, hoping everything shares the same circuit. I won’t mention how expensive it is, it’s often a 1 in 4 router that doesn’t connect well. Just stick with Wi-Fi and upgrade if you’re still having problems.
In reality, the amount I sent you is around 36 euros in Spain plus 40 euros in change.
