wifi6 or Ethernet

WARburton · Thursday at 16:31

My EE rougher is wifi6 compatible, but i moved my Pc today and the rougher is now less than a meter away whats the best option?
my internet is full fiber is 150meg if it matter

Ethernet is Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet
wifi is 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax)

Wifi6 doesn't even match up with Gigabit ethernet let alone 2.5Gb

i genially fell into the wifi speed claims, i sure i read the wifi 6 was on par with 10Gb. obviously i didn't :rolleyes:

EDIT: no this is wrong... but i did hear it was silly fast

I haven’t got a GF/ Wife to moan about a 5M cable run across the bedroom floor and ordered a yellow cable as it was the cheapest.

like this haha, this is why my pc went upstairs. id mentioned moving it back downstairs a few times but got no reply.

But it's not just speed, there's also latency, WiFi will always have a bit more while ethernet is pretty much near 0ms (to the router).

this is very good point i didnt think of the latency over wifi

Difference between wired and wireless for me is in the region of 6-7 ms, hardly going to be noticed.

tbf i have noticed a big drop in game ping.
