Hi

Ive searched high and low but cant find an easy answer to something that is probably straight forward for someone who knows their stuff

I have my Wireless Router on the ground floor and then on Floor 2, I have DT1 and DT2 both running W10Pro and both have LAN Ports. DT2 is headless and I RDP to it over wifi from DT1.

The question I have is, is it possible to have both PC's maintain their direct wireless connection to the internet, but use a LAN Cable between DT1 and DT2 to connect my RDP session? (Im assuming it would give a faster experience?)
 
Possible, but for RDP I doubt it'd make a massive difference. You can easily test whether it would:

  1. Disable wireless on them both
  2. Connect them with a cable
  3. Assign static IPs to them both
  4. Try it
 
Give them a static IP each on the LAN ports that is different to your main WLAN network. (ie, 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2), then RDP to the IP.

Doubt it would make much difference unless you're shifting large files.
 
Thanks all, my sessions seem to hang quite often, which I assumed might be down to be being 2 floors away from the AP.

Anyway, will give it a try and see how it goes
 
What is your ping from 1 device to the other? If it's more than 10ms and unstable, then you will benefit from a network cable.
