    MBP 2018 does not want to show non-AC 5Ghz WiFi

    I have got two routers/access points where I live. One of which is an old one that only offers 802.11n over 5Ghz and not 802.11ac. I notice that when trying to connect to it, iOS devices usually show it last even when standing next to it but it works fine on all my devices. Today I received my...

    WiFi vs. Ethernet

    Does anyone know all of the features you will lose when using ethernet vs. WiFi. I know printing can be a hassle since your not on the same wireless network as well as taking calls?. I was curious to know what other things I may miss out on going with ethernet since it's faster speeds. TIA
