Wi-Fi or cable: which is better?
When a network cable is worth it, when Wi-Fi is enough and how each affects speed, ping and stability.
Cable is faster, more stable and has lower ping. Wi-Fi is more convenient. The choice depends on what you do.
Use a cable for
Competitive online gaming, a TV that always stays in the same place, your work computer and important meetings.
Wi-Fi works well for
Phones, tablets, browsing, social media and video — as long as the signal is strong.
Run the test
Run the stability test on Wi-Fi and then with a cable. If jitter drops a lot with the cable, Wi-Fi is getting in the way.
