Nowadays no one wants slow internet. Certainly not if you are working on something important or if you are in a video call, for example. An internet cable is therefore highly recommended if you want an optimal network. Using a network cable has more advantages than using a WiFi network.
Stability
A stable network contributes to the quality of what you are doing. A network cable runs from the modem directly into the device you are using. This ensures an optimal connection without an intermediate station. Many people nowadays have a WiFi network with separate WiFi amplifiers. This often ensures a good connection, but can still be interrupted quickly.
Reliability
When using a network cable you always have some degree of reliability. This is because of the landline connection you have. The network cable always runs directly into your device and immediately ensures a solid connection. If you ever experience problems with a bad connection, you can quickly determine the problem.
In addition, network cables are not very expensive and are available in different sizes. There are different types of network cables and that is why it is important to see which one you buy. The better-known network cables are cat5, cat5e, cat6 and cat7. Each cable is intended for a different purpose, including home internet use.
Distances
It is also common knowledge with a WiFi connection that you have no connection over long distances. You will then quickly have to purchase WiFi boosters, which do not always work well. With a network cable you are of course also limited to a certain length, but it is possible to make it as long as you want. For example, you can also receive a good signal in the attic without having to purchase WiFi boosters.
In short, a network cable provides more stable and reliable internet than a WiFi connection. Nowadays, WiFi signals are also very reliable. But if you value a strong connection, use a network cable.
