technology Wired or Wireless: What is your network connection?

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,274]

So must of us here have Internet. I assume. I mean, you are reading this right now and such, you most likely have internet. Or maybe Wi-Fi hotspots...I am losing this battle. REGARDLESS! I think many of us have internet. With internet, comes an internet connection. Makes sense I think.

 

So basically, the question is, what do you have for your devices?  Do you have a wireless Internet connection via a router, modem or whatever, or do you have a wired connection? Or are some of your devices wired and others wireless? Any particular devices you use?

 

Me, I mostly have a wireless connection to all of my devices, as connecting them with an Ethernet cable directly isn't an option for me. It is a wireless modem provided by my ISP.

 

However, I did recently purchase a powerline unit for my Xbox One, and so technically my system now has a wired connection. A wired connection, wirelessly. Pretty awesome stuff. It is like magic. XD

Speak for yourself.. I am getting these messages by smoke signals from a neighboring tribe. Very efficient way to do things once you learn how to use the blanket correctly. Very superior way to handle it I must say.

 

Either way, as far as your inferior way of doing things goes, I have the option to do either/or. I have a computer at home where I do most stuff that is connected through my modem by cable, and I can use my phone to go wireless if need be. I prefer my computer though since I prefer to use it playing games while surfing websites and browsing the internet.

 

Seriously, get on that smoke signalling. It is the future I am telling you.

Wired for me, got the wireless on my router permanently disabled now as the weirdo behind us kept trying to hijack it last year.

I have a wireless modem in my house, since it supplies internet to several people.

I have a wireless connection where the router is located upstairs right below the television on a glass shelf although my Wii U and 3DS have their own connection which is through the Nintendo Network.

I always had a Wireless Connection in my House!

[Discordian 6,013]

I use wireless for most of my devices but my game consoles are always wired for speed and stability.

[Denim&Venöm 16,503]

Wired. Gives me a stronger connection.

I've always used Wifi but last week I got a wired connection for my room since Wifi does not work in my room.  I like wired though, no more horrible lag spikes that are fatal for online games.

My connection is wireless, since our router is on the floor below me (I live in a 3 storey house and I'm on the 2nd) If I could get wired, I would but that'd be a lot of Cat-6e cable...and living in a century old house would be hard to route through the walls and floor.

 

Wired would eliminate a lot of my issues of connection loss and my wireless adapter shutting itself off for no reason. Plus, less latency/lag in games.

First I have a media converter for the fiber optic cable. Then, I have an Asus router connected to it and after that, an 8-port network switch connected to the router. My computer and other devices such as my tv are then hooked up to the switch.

 

Everything is wired. I can't stand using wifi, everything is so slow and unstable.

 

I also have an Ethernet-to-USB adapter which is connected to my computer, which then (with an ethernet cable) is connected to my Xbox. Then I use internet connection sharing from my computer to share my computer's connection with my Xbox. I do this instead of just connecting the Xbox to the switch because I run a vpn on my computer and I need the vpn protection on my xbox to deal with those nasty DDoS kids.

Wireless over here..though temporarily out of commission until Feb due to no internet.

[EpicEnergy 22,073]

I use wifi for internet connection, so it's wireless.

[Phosphor 11,522]

I tether off my phone, so technically wireless. Other than satellite and Verizon 4g lte, there are no other options for internet service here.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,953]

my computer is plugged into my Mi-Fi so wired ig

[Retro*Derpy 3,079]

Pc, laptop and switch(for smash) are wired. Only my phone is wireless. 

[Northern Star 1,023]

Fiber to the wall here, then anything that can be wired is wired. Really speeds up the wifi. 

[Pentium100 2,056]

Main internet connection - fiber (GPON). Backup internet connection - cable (DOCSIS).

Pretty much everything locally is wired, but I have a couple of access points and use wireless for my handheld PCs.

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,358]

Wireless, very hard to protect myself from hackers because of this
