    Wi-Fi is half duplex, Ethernet is full duplex. Wi-Fi cannot send and receive simultaneously and it cannot detect collisions.

    If I have the choice between wireless and wired, I will take wired 100% of the time.

      Does the length matter? Like I have a 50ft ethernet cable, and my router is right next to my pc. Does the connection weaken if the cable is that long? Or that doesn’t matter at all?

        50ft is fine. So long as the cable is of ok quality and less than 300ft you’re golden. Current cable isn’t like the old stuff where colling too much caused issues.

        Also, this guy knows. Wireless is great, but wired is always better if possible.
