    Certainly not. Wifi lacks the bandwidth 1 Gb Ethernet has. If you have multiple devices, they all share the maximum bandwidth of Wifi, which is typically around 700Mb total, compared to each device getting a full 1Gb on Ethernet.

      But if you have a separate bandwidth limitation - i.e your ISP is providing less bandwidth than WiFi can provide, then isn’t that the practical limiting factor?

      The majority of households are not on 1GB connections.

      Agree, however, with the top response re:ping and reliability, which is why I use ethernet over the 3metres from my laptop to the router, rather than WiFi.
