Is my Series X wifi faster when plugged in via Ethernet to a Google wifi puck, or...

"I heard wired is slight faster than wifi as well"

"I agree, you just can't beat the stability and reliability you get with a wired connection. Too many times I've been in the middle of a match and experienced a dropped connection using WiFi. I went the ethernet route after and never went back to WiFi when it came to gaming."

"Wired will always be better than wireless for a variety of reasons. Might change sometime in the future with new tech but always wired if possible."

I already am connected to Ethernet, it's my laptop who is in WIFI.

I know that WIFi is less "powerfull" than ethernet that why i'm surprise that my laptop in WIFI is faster than my Xbox in Ethernet.

I have one Xbox (Series X) wired via Ethernet. I can play on WiFi with no disconnects but I prefer a wired connection for gaming.

Have the issue on my series x under WiFi , all my other devices are fine but when I use the series x under 2.4gh it’s really bad lag and 5gh is better but still laggy, only solution that I found right now is to use Ethernet and completely disconnect WiFi. Hope this helps!

Got WiFi to work.

Really weird. Have to not have an ethernet cable plugged in before you turn it on. Connects to wiFi in my room. But check this video I made when I plug an ethernet cable in:
