While I suppose you're right about the bigger backups being at night, the files
I work with WOULD benefit from any and all transfer increases. I mean... a lot
of 4k movies & videos, backups of 1TB drives, etc etc.

Yes, nighttime backups can go so far.. but I do sit and wait while things
transfer. A lot.

I still haven't went to the network room and put the laptop on the ethernet -
I'm going to... maybe today.

I'm thinking that if, while connected to ethernet, I get good transfer rates
that way I'll just connect to ethernet if I'm going to do a bunch of big
transfers - and I might check into getting the latest Wifi chips across my
entire network so that when on Wifi its at least a LITTLE quicker. If I can do
both of those things I think I'll be pretty well setup.
