My WZR-1750DHP DD-WRT wireless access points (WiFi 5) work fine for mobile devices and likely will for years to come.

Yes, lots of POE ethernet here
I have some Linksys routers / accesspoints too,
but WiFi is not really safe AFAIK, so it is off normally.

Pretty much everything is on all the time here.
Servers have to be or they won't be serving.
And why would I want to wait while Windows says "You will not turn off your computer for half an hour while I update".
Windows boxes which are mostly turned off invariably spend the next hour installing updates when they are turned on.

Networks are safe if configured properly whether wired or wifi.
While it's not likely that an unauthorized user will be able to get directly on my LAN, that does not by itself mean that

could
obtain information I don't want them to have.

If you leave your systems off for anti hacking reasons then you have effectively caused a denial of service attack against

You do not need WiFi if you have ethernet cables installed

Sure you do. How is my phone going to be online?

My phones are online via the local towers
 

Cell tower access for Internet is not reliable here.

Ah, that may be a good argument, over here in the Netherlands coverage is very good, things are moving to 5G now.

I use wires for what can use wires and wifi for anything which cannot sensibly be on a wired connection such as a phone.
All wired connections and wifi access points are on all the time.

Someone else mentioned cars. I prefer to keep my car off wifi. No need for the car to use it.

Yea, well in the current world I sort of assume everything about me is known by all agencies...
When visiting some sites you get very personalized links, they know where I buy, what I use it seems.
Browsers like Chromium and Firefox and cookies ... no idea what is all forwarded
'remember your password' option? man., security is much of an illusion.
Cameras everywhere...

In China you are monitored all the time and get points for good behavior I've read
