Would you switch from ethernet to wifi? Let me know in the comments!
Switching to Wifi from Ethernet wasn’t something that I ever thought I would do but considering the advancements in Wifi 6 and how fast the connection is I thought it was time to actually test it out and see for myself. The results honestly surprised me alot!

Ethernet. A physical wire will ALWAYS be better than wireless

@SocialHardware 7 ай бұрын

100% but the gap is closing.. wifi 6e is a really good option if you have a complicated setup like mine :)

@@SocialHardwarenope. The gap is getting even bigger. Cat8 dominates all wifi. Logically, a wire will always be better than wireless.

So 7$ cat6 ethernet is better than 70$ wifi6 card for my non wifi motherboard, am i right ?

So I had a question, I currently rent and my landlord won’t allow me to drill a hole in the brick to get another internet cable into my main pc/room. So I’m using a Ethernet adapter. Currently my speed is 250 , but I get lag spikes sometimes not sure if it’s from the adapter, my question is would this mesh system be better for accessing speeds consistently?

@SocialHardware 8 ай бұрын

Simple answer. Yes. Mesh is great!

Cool video, but I have a random question. What camera are you using while you were walking around? The quality looks real good even with a handheld setup.

ethernet /thread if you need to reach the corners of your house, skip eth over powerline (too much jitter and variability) and use MoCA 2.0 bonded or better eth over phoneline would be next best choice, but is rarely available anymore

@scatmanj101 Ай бұрын

I have just tried using a moca 2.5 bonded in my house and it generally works well except when I'm gaming online, I have random connection dropouts that make it almost impossible to play without me dropping all packets for about 1 seconds or if I'm hosting it just drops all the clients

my home network offers 400mbs wireless according to ookla. i bought a manhatten usb 2.0 ethernet adapter and a CAT5e cable. im only getting 98mbs wired now. my question is, is the lower mbs wired connection better for cloud gaming vs the faster wifi speed. any help would be welcomed.

That usb 2.0 ethernet adapter is bottlenecking your connection. Always connect your router ethernet cable to your motherboard RJ45 connector (pc back panel) for optimum connection

@clipsgc3159 4 ай бұрын

my laptop does not have rj45 conector, if i buy a good adapter 3.0 like tplink, will work fine or i have bottleneck too@@indrarizkipratama4231

I have pro grade access points at home that are sold to business and hotels and such that are all wired in to my network that go up to Wifi 6, get 600+ megabit anywhere in my apartment easily which is more than adequate. Originally got all that also with the idea of not needing ethernet everywhere. But there's still a lot of interference. especially because i'm in an appartment and I have competing access points all around me. Local ISP started selling wifi repeaters to their customers. If it doesn't move and it's remotely possible I still wire it up, 100 percent. Bandwidth alone is fine over modern wifi standards with latency and reliability wifi still leaves things on the table.

@SocialHardware 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing, competing AP’s definitely ruins the party for most people in apartments , Ethernet is obviously the best but wifi has come a long way, that’s all I was really trying to highlight tbh :)

If my bandwidth only 100Mbps, And my pc support 5ghz, Should i change to ethernet cable?

@PinoyZo1 2 күн бұрын

Ethernet cable is always going to be better regardless of your bandwidth. Besides the upload/download speed capped at 100mbps it will have a lower latency which is much better for gaming and work.

My Wifi adapter for $30 - 3 ms. ping and less speed. My $2.5 ethernet cable - 1 ms. ping and max speed.
