It relies on the quality of your Wi-Fi signal. With a decent connection, most users won't feel any changes.

It also highlights what you're doing online. Sending large files to a NAS can cause noticeable delays, regardless of your Wi-Fi strength or equipment. However, casual browsing usually won't slow you down much.

ethernet offers quicker connections, better stability, and stronger security compared to Wi-Fi. Just because wifi seems convenient doesn’t mean it’s always reliable. In my area, everyone and their dog wants to use Wi-Fi, but hardwired solutions are becoming outdated. Downloading four games on four Xboxes while using phones and laptops on the same network is frustrating when the ISP internet is so poor.
