kapenagary Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm getting back into MSFS after a 10 year absence. My question is about hooking up my Wi-Fi. I have a download speed of around 170 Mbps. Is that enough speed. I also have an ethernet connection near my computer. Should I hard wire my computer through the ethernet or should I use Wi-Fi? Thanks, Gary Schmidt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Asobo lists 50 Mbps as the ideal download speed, so you should be good that way. If you have a strong and stable connection using wifi, it shouldn't be an issue. Personally, I like to use ethernet where possible as it is far less prone to interference or other issues.

MAD1 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My understanding from my IT guys at my workplace, they say the further from the modem that you are the greater the chance of slower speed. So if it isn't a hassle for you, connect the Ethernet cable. There might not be any difference or there might be. A copper wire is still king!
