I will say that I have generally wired every unit that has had a wired connection available. It has always worked well. But in one or two situations, I have had to unwire other nodes to settle things down.
I am not top level when it comes to diagnosing the wherefore and why of these types of things, but they acted like there were loops and things ground to a halt.
A network guru I know says he only wires the first one, always. I haven’t got to that point yet.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
