Can you rephrase the question - what is it that you're trying to find out? Maybe the difference between WiFi and wired networking in your house? These days you'll usually have fibre optic coming to the house to the router then either WiFi or wired ethernet inside from your router to wherever you need it.

Not all locations will have wired network option.

I have a 5g WiFi box as no wired connection, works fine, sometimes drops off but not often.

I live live on edge of village and my provider is vivacom, only provider I can use for my location for now.

As I said, it's difficult to see exactly what the question is: it's perfectly possible to have internet access via a Wi-Fi signal coming to a property, but the router may have Ethernet ports allowing wired connections to devices within the property.  Or there's always Starlink... 😎

Yup, I have 2 new apartments which were cabled (Cat 5 ethernet) by the developer. I also cabled my village house (myself) when the electrician was re-wiring.


While the 2 apartments have the cabling, the cables were not connected to an appropriate socket. And I still haven't bothered to find a guy to do it. One of the apartments would be more complicated as the cables start at the front door, whereas my fibre/router connection is in the living room.


Both apartments have high-speed (Vivacom) fibre with decent routers/WiFi. Everything works fine with WiFi, so the cabling is unlikely to be used.


The house is quite big (300 m2) with multiple levels, so having one router/WiFi cover the whole property is unlikely. It's possible to install WiFi boosters/repeaters so that might be an easier solution (just plug them in). I certainly wouldn't bother to retro-fit cabling in a finished house, but it's pretty easy if done with the electrical work.

The easiest way to tackle Ethernet cabling inside a property, especially an apartment, is via HomePlug/Powerline adapters. It's a doddle to do and works very well for normal internet, TV etc.


I cabled our main house with a combination of Cat 6/8 copper cables, and Powerline adapters.  Cat 8 is somewhat overkill, but we do run a bunch of kit that needs quite a chunk of bandwidth and the smallish extra cost is worth it in terms of future-proofing the investment..

Having seen your other posts on this subject it appears that your concern is about the effects of ELF/EMF radiation. Your first problem is that you're unlikely to get a non-Wi-Fi router from your ISP, so you're going to be exposed willy-nilly; the good news is that, based on the current scientific evidence, the level of radiofrequency EMF emitted from Wi-Fi devices is not in any way harmful to health.


You're going to be subjected to ELF/EMF radiation wherever you go nowadays - it's completely inescapable: you're being dosed right now by your electricity cables, your domestic appliances and whatever device you're using to read this! 😁

These units are worth looking at:

It's usually possible to turn off the WiFi on the WiFi routers that ISPs provide. Normally you can do it from the router settings by typing in the gateway IP address into the Web browser address bar (usually 192.168.1.1 but sometimes can be different ) and logging in with the admin username and password normally stamped on the underside or back of the router.
