You should connect your home server or the main device you use most often. Both have similar performance now, but switching one could lower latency and boost speed more than the other.

In practice, it doesn't really matter which option you choose, though the server needs the most stable connection.

Both devices share the same wireless NICs, so the improvement will match the limitation removed by switching to Ethernet. The outcome essentially remains unchanged regardless of choice. If you have a strong ISP plan and frequently travel, a wired server is likely superior. Still, it's common practice to keep servers wired, though wireless can work if needed. The decision ultimately hinges on your specific needs.

It’s unclear why a single device is limited to a wired link, especially since affordable gigabit switches are widely available online.
