Moan and groan all you like, it doesn't change the fact that wireless is almost always an option and wired is almost never an option.
Even desktop PCs come with wifi adapters. Finding a laptop with an Ethernet port is damn near impossible.
Don't most of (maybe all) dell and lenovo laptops come with ethernet ports by default ?
And nowadays, with thunderbolt docking stations, you have more or less every connection available anyway.
Nope. Ethernet ports are gone.
If ethernet is not an option, you're just wasting time. Ethernet-to-USB dongles are cheap and plentiful.
It's crazy that people with no experience with it have no idea why anyone would want to fuss with a direct wired connection when it's objectively faster and more stable in every metric possible.
Assumptions, assumptions... My company is a communications company and actually produces networking equipment. Almost no one uses Ethernet because we have the knowledge and experience to implement reliable wifi. Perhaps your company should hire us since they've done such a bad job with their own implementation.
