    Just a quick little poll!

    How do you guys normally connect to the internet at home when on your computer? Do you have an Ethernet connection running from a modem and/or router that goes to your device, or do you perhaps browse via a wireless connection, whether via in-home wifi or a hotspot?
     
    Wireless for everything I do. Recently bought a nice new modem/router to take advantage of upgraded speeds. PS4 still seems to be stuck in the past for whatever reason though.
     
    Our laptop is always wired since my mother doesn't know how to enable WiFi >.>
    Personally, I prefer WiFi since I always move around especially when I watch videos.
     
    Currently using Wireless at home because we got so much smarthphones and the need without taking turns unplugging the cable of course, my dad have a hotspot of his own
     
    Wired Verizon FiOS. I use the router as a last resort, like when the wired internet doesn't work, since its speeds are slower. Mom always goes wireless though since she doesn't have an ethernet connector and usually goes on the laptop in the kitchen which is in the room near where our router is aha.
     
    On my laptop, I almost always run wireless, even when I'm relatively close to the router (which is for the vast majority of the time I'm using my laptop). However, I still prefer wired networking, which is more robust with LAN traffic between devices on the same network (I do have a NAS drive that I store most of my files on).
    My strategy is use Wi-Fi only if it's the only option that particular device has or if I move around with said device regularly.
     
    Wireless. I've had my time with wired connections and I prefer everything to be wireless nowadays.
     
    I just whatever is available most of the time, so no particular preference as long as it's reliable enough for my use.

    Hmm, interesting. I guess your speeds and everything are alright in comparison to how they would be on wired, if I had to ask?

    Yes, there are no noticeable difference or hiccups whether it's wireless or wired. Everything seems to be at the cap.
