Good Day & Welcome.

Hardwired is always more stable. An Ethernet connection for gaming is recommended. Gaming requires low latency and consistent speeds. Using an Ethernet connection can help minimize these issues, giving you a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.

If you are a casual non-competitive player and lag isn't a major factor, Wi-Fi can be sufficient. If your gaming setup isn't near the router and running cables is not possible, then Wi-Fi offers you portability as an alternative.

You can buy a 25ft Ethernet cable from major electronics retailers like Best Buy, office supply stores like Staples, and online marketplaces such as Amazon.ca.

Take care.
