Moving beyond wired ethernet?

[mtbc]

For many years, I used wifi to bring connectivity to islands of wired devices, each island clustered around a switch, one of whose ports was plugged into an access point in client mode. After returning to the US, I had unthinkingly assumed that I would continue with that approach.

However, I now notice that all my devices have wifi capability, from the old Intel NUCs to the new printer. Also, that modern wifi is fast. Maybe I no longer need any of these wired ethernet islands I grew so used to? With having a larger house and yard again, I may well resurrect an older architecture that had me running longer wires under the floor so that access points near the perimeter of the house provide good coverage overall.
