[RFI] Network Switch Suggestions

[Charles Plunk]

I abandoned my wired network in favor of wifi per Jims suggestion. 
Fought shielded cables, toroids, different equipment etc for years on 
and off trying to mitigate the hf rfi. Still hear some very weak signals 
from same birdie frequencies but nothing like I use too. Probably from 
some distant neighbors. My hillbilly reasoning is that the ethernet was 
spewing signals for great distances as well as wifi so became a lot less 
concerned for any increase in security of ethernet vs wifi and the new 
wifi, by some reading i did, seems very secure due to modern techniques. 
All working great. Cable internet so we stream movies with ease.
