Exactly. There are usually 2-3 AppleTV 4K boxes streaming at the same time but most all of our devices are using very little bandwidth. I’d be more worried if I was running a Plex server or playing online MMORPGs or first person shooters.
I don’t doubt that, however, at any given time, there are about 25 wireless devices hitting my wifi simultaneously with no issue so I’m hesitant to spend the cash to hardwire the back haul.
My eero Pro mesh network (two base station units) still provides excellent coverage to our 2,800-ish square ft. split level home. The only device with a non-wifi Ethernet connection (besides the cable modem) is my Mac Mini which is pulling 1Gbps directly from the modem. Perhaps one day, it will...
