When I visit you and poop, do you have a way for me to connect my phone to your wired network?

I'm going to be honest with you: Modern WIFI is really awesome. I don't have problems with reception now that I bought a powerful router. (And "just run a wire" isn't a solution; the devices that had reception problems don't support wired ethernet.)

Non-sarcastically, yes. The USB-C hub I use to connect my laptop works perfect charging my iPhone and Android my phone while providing gigabit speeds to the android and USB 2 speeds to my iPhone!

Not in my bathroom yet though, I'm still renting.

No? You will use LTE and not bother with local connectivity. As I said, I have Wifi turned on but no one uses it.
