Why Ethernet Can Be More Reliable Than Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi makes it easy to connect phones, laptops, televisions, and other devices without running cables through every room. For many everyday tasks, a good wireless connection is more than fast enough. Ethernet serves a different purpose. It carries network traffic over a physical cable, usually between a device and a router, network switch, or wall socket connected to the local network. That wired path can make performance more predictable, especially for devices that stay in one place.
