More Networking Inquiry

[Digicard]

For network adaptor there are Wireless, Wired and Ethernet.

 

The following qs are for Desktop Used.

 

1. What is the difference between wired and ethernet?

 

2. Wired and Ethernet, which one is more convinent and powerful? (in terms of transfer rate)

 

3. For online games that will lag alot if your connection is not good, do you prefer to use wired or ethernet, please explain as well. (Assuming cost is not an issue)

 

Thank You

Actually, there is only wireless and wired. Ethernet is a network architecture that you use to design the network. Ex. Ethernet Standards 802.11a/b/g is wireless connections and 802.3 is wired connections. Both use ethernet standards.

 

1. Ethernet is an architecture used for wired and wireless networks

 

2. You mean wired and wireless, not wired and ethernet. Ethernet is a network architecture that defines either a wired or wireless network. Don't get confused, it's either wired or wireless. Ethernet is standard network architecture used to design networks.

 

3. Again, you mean wired or wireless. Wired is generally better than wireless for gaming because with, wired, there is less likely chance for crosstalk to occur. Crosstalk, is when a phone line, for instance, interferes with the network cable. In wireless, you could get noise from phonelines and such.
