Not All Ethernet Cables Are Equal
Wired connections, which use Ethernet cables, are generally faster and have lower latency than Wi-Fi connections. But, just as modern Wi-Fi hardware has advanced, modern Ethernet cables are capable of communicating at faster speeds.

If you’re getting, for example, 90 Mbps download speeds from your ISP, the Ethernet cables in your home won’t make a bit of difference for your Internet speeds—you’ll still only be getting 90 Mbps.
