wifi vs ethernet same speed? - graphicrhythmns - 04-19-2020

Hi,
I get the same speeds on my mac regardless of ethernet or wifi connection;
380Mb down and 20Mb up

 If that's the case does wifi work or is there another fundamental reason to be plugged directly in?

Thanks!

Speed is not the issue (for your WiFi anyways)
The packet handling of WiFi adds too much 'noise' in jitter and jitter queue to the equation. Rendering any 'speed' useless due to the latency this causes.

Thanks that makes total sense!

Appendix, one could say:

"This is because wi-fi basically doesn't handle consecutive packets well."
