Although the latest wireless communication standard 802.11n promises data transmission speed that rival or exceed typical wired connections, wired or Ethernet-based internet connection still has advantages over it.

In addition to speed that is dependable and consistent, wired network offers increased security over wireless one because it’s easier for hackers to break into a wireless internet connection than a wired one, especially if you have not or do not know how to properly and securely configured it. Furthermore, wireless broadband connections are unreliable and face frequent drop-lines.
