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...

USB RJ45 adapter is only working in a USB3-port - not USB2

Wireless is not suited for low-latency connections.

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
