I've never found a performance difference between USB and Ethernet on my Blueyonder.

But Ethernet allows you to connect a router...

And in English?

The advantages of not using USB (generally) are:

• Reduced CPU utilisation
• No drivers needed (other than network card drivers)
• USB 1.1 can only do 12Mbps, versus 10/100Mbps on ethernet

As RichDuffy says, you need ethernet to connect to a router too.
