I just don't like wireless.
It's slow, it's flakey and it stops routing for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to have to dig around in my cupboard to reboot the router every time the wireless craps out.

HD content is frequently too much for it, too. Bearing in mind I want different stuff going to different rooms, bandwidth is king.

If you're running cables about the place you should also run network though.
Then it's only your handset that needs to see the router via wifi, and remote control doesn't use much bandwidth.

That's the whole point, ethernet faceplates everywhere
so you can use some for AV and some for internet.

It basically makes your whole house hot-swappable, because you just re-patch the switch to send internet to an ex-AV port or vice versa.

I had to fuck around with patch cables the other day at work.
Some numpty only patched 4 cables into our server rack.
