Internet Wireless vs Wired

[Wobble]

What do you use? If you have used both, what differences have you noticed between them?

I used to play wireless. Then switched to wired.

Noticed zero difference.

Opposite of Billie, wired to wireless. Zero difference.

I've played extensively using both since I play on a laptop and move areas often (I've done a bit of traveling the past few months)

Wireless lag has been noticeable to me in some cases, sometimes everything in-game will stop moving for a second or two.

I've also played tethering my phone for LTE, in some ways it was far more reliable than some wireless I've played on (and I'm not talking public wifi hotspots)

It all really boils down to how good the router is & how good the internet is really.

I have played on wireless, and I notice that when wireless I will get random lag spikes that are not present with a wired connection. Have used a couple different brands and still get the same problem. Might be the router idk. I just feel that wired connections are a little bit more stable.

ethernet wired all the way.

Wireless is a little broad...

Don't play through walls (especially those with embedded metal or wires) and don't play around bends (signals don't bend and may not reflect well). As long as your system is in a direct straight line to your router while still being in range, it should be good.

And check your area for interference as your neighbors' connections can affect yours, especially if they turn up the power on their antennae.

No differences here. Getting errors 90000 recently.

I used to play wireless and would get random DCing and lag during certain instances (especially EX primals). I recently got a new router and it was messing up my connection to the point where I would DC for 20-30 seconds at a time and basically could not play. I decided to go wired and hooked my PS3 up with an ethernet cable....BIG difference!
I no longer lag nor DC like I did before (which makes doing Titan EX a breeze)! I highly recommend a wired connection if you're having any kind of connections issues (and on a PS3).

My game plays much better wired than wireless on PS3
