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

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    To answer your inquiry, according to several users who answered a similar issue from a thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/jq6t4n/wifi_or_wired_connection/

    "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."

    Download Speed

    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.

    Xbox Series X keeps disconnecting

    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.

    My xbox series s download speed low and I can't play my 2k without getting kicc out the game because on lagging

    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!
