Wired gigabit ethernet is far better than wifi; on a small wired network the packet loss is negligible and contention is non-existent, so the network is smooth and fast. You get better than 80% of theoretical wire speed in file transfers. Remote desktops have minimum latency. Every couple months another wifi router zero-day pops up and some huge fraction of all such routers become vulnerable to remote attacks. It's nice not being involved in that mess. My fellow remote colleagues with wifi sound terrible on their contended networks; dropping packets and getting cut off calls. The people with wired connections like myself are always glitch free. Wifi is for toys and casual use. Ethernet is for work.
