No, for the fastest wireless speed which lies on N band is 300mb and for the local wired ethernet for the norm speed right now is around 1gigabit which stands at around 1024megabit.

... and don't expect wireless *anything* to be better than its cable equivalent - the physics set limits on wireless comms that are less than wired comms.

When comparing wireless broadband internet and DSL, Wireless Broadband(assuming it's cable,) is faster compared to DSL. However, there can be a lag in internet speed depending on how many people are using this wireless connection.

yes and no, mostly no.

Theoretically a WiFi network can be 300megabit/second, but that depends on number and types of wall between pc and router, how many pc's on the same router, and no neighbours using wifi, microwave ovens or other disturbances.

On the other hand, a wired 1gigabit/second works regardless of these disturbances.

Gigabit ports are the standard for most modern network equpment available to the consumer.

The speed is only as fast as the slowest link in the chain, so the answer is NO. The more the internet connection is diluted and split, the slower it will be.

Most wireless connections are actually significantly faster than DSL because they are utilizing broadband networks. Some wireless networks use DSL connections,.

Why are wired connections faster than wireless?

With a wired connection, you are plugged in directly to your modem with cables. So, wired internet is generally faster than wireless, because it doesn't have to go through all of the airwaves and Wi-Fi routers. Even though cables can be less reliable than Wi-Fi in certain situations, wired connections tend to be faster, this is where you will probably get a higher throughput (more bandwidth) of speed. But an argument against wired connections is that they tend to have limited range, so you may need to switch up how far away from the router you are when watching movies and playing games online. Wireless internet is generally slower than wired because of the distance they have to travel, which makes them more susceptible to interference from buildings and other structures. So, we can say that wired is faster whereas wireless is more convenient. In the end, it’s on you to decide what works for you, wired or wireless.


Can you use the internet on the slim PS3 without needing to buy anything?

If you have a working internet connection: Yes, yes you can! Had a working Comcast cable system with internet that was not wireless and had to purchase wireless router. (80$) Didn't like loss of connection and went wired and purchased 50 foot Cat 6 ethernet cable from Ebay ($20). Discovered that the PS3 test on the internet had much better results with wired connection. Better download and upload speeds with wired than wireless. so even if you already have a wireless internet connection you might want to switch to wired for faster download speeds and no loss of connection. The loss of connection was worse when system was not password protected.


Why is wireless a better choice than a non-wireless network?

I wouldn't say its a better choice. Far from it. Its not as fast as a wired connection and its not as secure or as reliable as a wired connection. The only benefit it offers is not having to have a wire draped out of the side of your laptop.
