Which method do you prefer to connect to the internet? By a router (wirelessly) or an ethernet cord (blue/yellow wire) that connects to your modem? Also, why do you prefer that method and why not the other?



To be honest I prefer connecting wirelessly. Why? Because I'm on a laptop and would like to carry it around my house or anywhere I go. I know the internet is a bit slower but 20MB speed is good enough for me since I just browse the web. If I was on a desktop which I never will be on again, I'd connect by an ethernet cord. I don't notice much of a difference when on the ethernet cord but I do know for a fact that it does go faster. Why? Since I can't move the desktop I'd rather just prefer the faster one and the internet is a bit faster compared to wireless.
 
I prefer wireless because I can get Internet anywhere in my house and not be stuck in one place.
 
I use an ethernet cord to connect to the internet. I'm always wary about wireless connections as to me they're not very good and fail most of the time.
 
Wireless for me. Using a laptop and the ability to move without the restriction of a CAT35 cable is just wonderful.
