    Efficiency and outright performance isn’t always a priority.

    A lan cable outperforms a wireless Internet connection in every way, yet most people just use WiFi

      Sure, but I’m not paying for every byte sent overy network, while I am paying for every kWh I use.

      That’s all beside the point though, this is just a fun diy project so who cares really.

        I could argue that WiFi uses more power than LAN cables, so you’re paying to use WiFi

        The important thing is if it’s worth the price, paying 5$ extra per month in power might be worth it for a LOT of people
