Wireless or Ethernet (Read 183 times)

At the moment I am trying to sort out my house and actually get round to fixing up the spare room as a study.

But have a question;

Is there much difference in running QL via Wireless or Ethernet because downstairs where I play I just run the Ethernet from the wireless router to the laptop and have never played wireless before.

But when I finally move all my computer crap back upstairs I was just thinking of leaving the router downstairs (Has to stay downstairs as it's connected to the sky HD box for anytime +)

So would it be best to go and buy 30m of ethernet cable which will cost about £40.00 for a fairly decent cable (cant be bothered to order online I'll just drive to maplin), or will playing via wireless be sufficient?

Go with ethernet. Otherwise you will be inviting more lag and latency.

Thanks, I'll pop to Maplin to get it before I crack open my next batch of holiday beer

All done and dusted.

Was a complete pain in the ass as I had to run it against the walls under the laminate flooring.

But at least that's something she can't bitch and moan about when she gets home ;D

Good job. I install a lot of ethernet as a carpenter.. but I've the tools to drill, cut and crimp.etc..and keep it hidden. As long as the Wife is happy.. I't's ok...
