What is an ethernet cable connection?Īn ethernet connection to the internet is also known as a wired connection. What is the difference between ethernet and WiFi?īefore I share the results of my experiment, let’s start by breaking down the difference between ethernet and WiFi. Hopefully you will learn something as well. I am glad I did, as I learned a few things in the process.
Well, I finally decided to test this on my own. I can’t count the number of times I have seen this question on the internet. : using an ethernet cable faster than WiFi when connecting to the internet? -Internet User : Realtek RTL8102E/RTL8103E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC Ipconfig /all for the server (connects to my desktop via Ethernet cable) Ipconfig /all for computer connected to router (internet access) OS on server (LAN, ethernet) - XP Pro SP3 OS on computer connected to router that is Wifi source for my desktop (internet access) - XP Home SP3 : Friday, Aug1:21:26 AMĪ few years back I wrote down some ipconfig info - this is when things were working well: : 255.255.255.0Įthernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 8:ĭescription. Here is a printout of "ipconfig /all" from my desktop: E.g when I am away, my desktop will need to be connected to the internet so I can connect to it via Logmein and access files/programs on the server. I really need to be able to do both again. If I disable the Wifi, I can print to a network printer fine. I cannot print to a LAN network printer, though I can still access the server on the LAN and run programs that are located on the server. If I unplug the Ethernet/LAN cable, the browser - internet access is fine. I cannot access internet (Wifi connects just fine, strong signal, etc. Now for some reason I cannot have both connections functioning at the same time. I just switched to Fios which means a new router.
For about 4 years I have had the ability at my work place to access the LAN from my desktop via an Ethernet connection and at the same time access the internet via Wifi to a router+DSL connection.
