What’s the reason behind wireless being slower than wired? will it ever overtake it?
In: Technology
It is less a question of faster/slower than it is about how it connects. A wire gives you a direct path to transmit information and does not require much power, does not get a lot of interference/noise; it has its own road. Wireless requires broadcasting generally and receiving generally, and typically has a road shared with challenges of security, distance, penetrating walls, and interference from other signals broadcasting. Once connected, speeds can be great on either option. Wireless may be capable of equal speeds but suffer from poor signal and therefore feel slower (having to retransmit information or reconnect, etc).
