802.11ac promises blistering speeds, but many consumers are just now getting around to upgrading to 802.11n, leaving many to wonder if the new version is worthwhile.

This outpaces most typical home broadband connections by some margin. Assuming you have the hardware to support this standard (you need it in both your router and all your computers) it means the broadband speed is now the bottleneck, not the Wi-Fi speed.

The major benefit of Ethernet is now gone.

Not sure about that.

Despite those content viewing content on their mobiles, the market will consume the best formats and bit rates available. And fiber to the home with Cat-6e/7 cable will deliver. Wifi tends to lag. Disagree?

I have no idea what all that means.

Everything I have is Gigabit and I’m content.
