Differences between Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections
Ethernet connection
- The data is transmitted over a cable.
- A physical cable is required and this limits mobility.
- It is more secure than Wi-Fi, has more speed, and is more reliable.
- Encryption of data is not required.
- The installation process is more complex.
Differences between Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections
Wi-Fi connection
- Data is transmitted through wireless signals, which gives better mobility.
- Has a higher risk in terms of security, less speed, and less reliability than the Ethernet.
- Users can connect from different points.
- Has inconsistent speed.
- Needs data encryption.
- The installation process is simpler.
