Correct. And even if you are alone and there are no interfering
neighbors your connection you may still suffer from degraded
connection relevant but not limited to other high-frequency devices
and even atmospheric conditions which may suppress your signal with a
remote one in some cases. It's the radio wave, it's unpredictable. 

OTOH, there was lots of money invested in wireless technology. Which
means there is strong pressure on unsuspecting customers to buy them. 
It's up to you to follow the knowledge and common sense and go wired
or ... go wireless and struggle with unpredictable reception.
