Wireless versus wired connection - yosh01 - 04-03-2020
Is there a reason for insisting on a wired connection other than speed? My wireless speed is 140 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. Shouldn't that be fast enough?

I think it is to do with jitter introduced by the WiFi step - physical ethernet connections have a very steady clock.
Mind you, I just bought and plugged in a USB RJ45 adapter that my computer uses, but which JamKazam's network test feature refuses to recognise. Oh well...

20 Mbps upload should be enough
Upload is more important than download
Very crucial is the so called PING time - you can test that, in different ways
