Wi-Fi Vs Ethernet.. Which is better?

Would you switch from ethernet to wifi? Let me know in the comments!

Switching to Wifi from Ethernet wasn’t something that I ever thought I would do but considering the advancements in Wifi 6 and how fast the connection is I thought it was time to actually test it out and see for myself. The results honestly surprised me alot!

Ethernet. A physical wire will ALWAYS be better than wireless

[muhammadrizqi]

So 7$ cat6 ethernet is better than 70$ wifi6 card for my non wifi motherboard, am i right ?

[memediff]

Always wired over wireless but wifi 6 closing the gap

So I had a question, I currently rent and my landlord won’t allow me to drill a hole in the brick to get another internet cable into my main pc/room. So I’m using a Ethernet adapter. Currently my speed is 250, but I get lag spikes sometimes not sure if it’s from the adapter, my question is would this mesh system be better for accessing speeds consistently?

[ccycca]

cable is always the best but wifi6 isn't that bad.

ethernet

if you need to reach the corners of your house, skip eth over powerline (too much jitter and variability) and use MoCA 2.0 bonded or better
eth over phoneline would be next best choice, but is rarely available anymore

I play online games on console but I don't have difference between wifi and ethernet Why?

[skwira]

A lot of these depends on how many devices are transmitting at the same time and also is there bidirectional communication going on at the same time.

That's a nice apartment. Like all the windows

This guy takes so long to answer Simple question and when you’re transferring files and such, that’s not over Wi-Fi or ethernet

Cool video, but I have a random question. What camera are you using while you were walking around? The quality looks real good even with a handheld setup.

If my bandwidth only 100Mbps,
And my pc support 5ghz,
Should i change to ethernet cable?

[spankrocketgaming]

my home network offers 400mbs wireless according to ookla. i bought a manhatten usb 2.0 ethernet adapter and a CAT5e cable. im only getting 98mbs wired now. my question is, is the lower mbs wired connection better for cloud gaming vs the faster wifi speed. any help would be welcomed.

I have pro grade access points at home that are sold to business and hotels and such that are all wired in to my network that go up to Wifi 6, get 600+ megabit anywhere in my apartment easily which is more than adequate. Originally got all that also with the idea of not needing ethernet everywhere.
But there's still a lot of interference. especially because i'm in an appartment and I have competing access points all around me. Local ISP started selling wifi repeaters to their customers.

If it doesn't move and it's remotely possible I still wire it up, 100 percent.
Bandwidth alone is fine over modern wifi standards with latency and reliability wifi still leaves things on the table.

[clipsgc]

very nice video, does a ethernet to usb adapter does the same job as the motherboard port? or i will lose speed and latency

[allsam]

thanks for the latency numbers, for 1-3ms i won´t be running the cable ))

3:29 thats not good for your health bro

Ethernet is better for Windows 7 laptops (including Windows 10 or later) or old laptops

[amisanthrope]

At 5:55 I haven't heard a lick of the information I'm looking for & I cannot stand to listen to you prattle on about nothing any longer. Thanks for annoying.

I use ethernet for these fixed devices like desktop, TV, ...; and for these mobile devices I use wifi.
