    Latency. Also, wired is always better than wireless. I’ll save the long boring explanation for another time, but suffice it to say that wireless constantly has dropped packets, and constantly has to retransmit data.

    Wired when you can, wireless when you have to.

      Not by much. My average ping on cable was around 30ms with no packet loss. On t-mo 5g it’s usually around 50ms with no packet loss.

      Fifty is still a good ping. Even for fps gaming. Stuff doesn’t get dicey until you’ve gone over 80. As further, I’ve had no gaming issues at all with it.
