Ethernet Connectivity is the way to go. It is faster, more reliable, and just a lot better overall connection as compared to WI-Fi. With all the hype that wireless gets, the connection is only as good as the signal strength and with the latest 5G advancement of wireless the wavelength is much shorter than previous versions 4G and below of which had the longer wavelengths. So as with 5G the short wave it has trouble going through many structures without having a tremendous outlay of many many relay towers to boost the short signal.
Ethernet all-though older technology is the way to go, as the connection is always there.
I recently had my house wired and purchased Ethernet Cables of varying lengths for the different connection points and components; such as computers, game consoles, streaming devices, security systems, exercise equipment. Yes, Exercise Equipment, there are still a few out there with Ethernet connectivity. I called up quite a few asking about Ethernet, but the trend for them is wireless. However; if you read exercise blogs and articles you find the opposite as actual people would rather have Ethernet connections, stating many times losing wireless connection half way or three quarters of the way though an exercise routine or competition and being kicked out. There were even a few representatives of exercise equipment saying yes Ethernet is the way to go, but the manufacturers do not seem to care or listen. With exercise equipment you already have a power cord coming off the machine, so one more Ethernet cord is not going to hinder anything.
These 6A patch cords from StarTech are of great quality compared to most others I have seen and or purchased out there and they are rated up to 500 MHz frequency and is more than suitable for 10GBase-T Ethernet networks, which is more than enough for the home user. When plugging into my TP-Link 5 Port Gigabit Switch, Easy Smart Managed, Plug & Play you can feel the difference. It is a nice solid connection with no wiggle, as I have experienced with other brands. Overall a well done quality product experience.
