Ethernet vs Wifi

[emotionalpig]

I know that ethernet is the better option compared to wifi for my pc, but my wifi box is across my house (80ft more or less). Should I go wireless or is it worth is to buy the long ethernet cable and connect?

Depends. If you want low latency gaming/streaming with high reliability, go wired.For  Everything else WiFi is good enough.

I personally always go for ethernet whenever possible. Simply because it is more stable. Problem with wifi is that you might need to overcome windows and walls, let alone ceilings / floors.

 

But it also depends on what it is that you need. if you're ok with a bit more latency and a drop in download speed, than go for it.
