[CA] [CA11] Wifi vs cable?

[holdech]

I have recently purchased a Quantum 2 radar and been asking whether I should use wifi instead of running a cable. The universal answer is that a cable is preferred and the reason cited is interference when using the wifi connection.

Is this based on fact? Cabling introduces three connections into the link and connections are typically the weak spot with cabled systems.

My radome is approximately 25 feet from the MFD (which is under a bimini with solar panels).

If the wifi link is that weak or flaky, I'd like to know before I spend a fair bit of time running a cable (or not).

Surely there must be some actual experience out there?

Thank you,

Chris
