I may use either option, depending on my location at any given time, whether at my home, or my folks' home...1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Ethernet cableI can't imagine playing an online game via regular wi-fi. 5G is a bit better, but it still sucks.
But then ESO is a pretty casual game, so it doesn't really matter (and it's already a lag fest even on ethernet).Edited by MLGProPlayer on October 2, 2017 2:23AM0 -

✭✭Ethernet cableWhere is the option: Mobile data?
I usually play via ethernet, but when I am not at home I use my mobile phone as portable hotspot. We have have pretty nice LTE cover in my country, so no problems with connection (trust or not, no lags). I just must avoid using master merchant :as it consumes loads of data.0 -

ItsMeToo✭✭✭✭✭I fart in ones and zeros.FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.Balance is a "Bad" thing.
Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.
Balance is a "Bad" thing.Is the glass half full or half empty?
I say, "Get a smaller glass."1 -

Flameheart✭✭✭✭✭Ethernet cableMy fibre port at the wall is 50 cm away from my router and another 20 cm from my PC LAN port, so there is no reason to not use the most secure and especially failure-free connection -> LAN cable. Same for my NAS. You could use a Cat6 or even Cat7 cable, but it would make no sense, because I don't think that there are many people who have a provider that delivers more than 1Gbit/s download transfer rate.
My WLAN (WiFi) is pretty amazing too when it comes to transfer rates (I even have two separate WLANs for different frequencies), but there is just no need for me to do that, although I could use - at least in theory - a WLAN transfer rate of 1,3 Gbit/s. I connect all other devices (TV, Smartphone, Tablet, Printer) over WLAN though.
