I've been working primarily remote since before I moved to where I live now, and I've been wired since shortly after I moved in (a couple plugs needed to be re-terminated from RJ-11 to RJ-45). I have "gigabit" (920-940 down, 40 up) cable internet so wired is the only way I get full download speeds. Workstation on the third floor is connected to a switch on the first, which is fed by an AC86U on the second connected to my ISP's cable modem. I have another monitor set up right next to the router, so when I'm sitting there on my laptop I'll use a USB-C multiport adapter to connect via Ethernet there too.
My place isn't large so WiFi is fine with a single router, but why have "fine" when "full speed" is easily available?
At my parents' computers near the router (AC68U) are wired, but lack of in-home cabling means everything else is wireless. There are coverage issues right now, so I've ordered an AC66U to add in as an AiMesh node. That AP should fix the coverage issues, allowing their ISP, which tends to run 40-70 Mbps down and 10-15 Mbps up over fixed wireless, so be the bottleneck rather than the local network.
