Should I play Wired or WiFi?

I play wired on a Docked Nintendo Switch and when I do a connection test I get these results:

Wired Connection:

NAT TYPE A

35 mpbs download speed

4.4 mpbs upload speed


Wifi Connection:

NAT TYPE B

46 mbps download speed

8.4 mpbs upload speed

Which is better? Wired connection with a slower speed, or a wireless connection with higher speed?

    Wired 100% even if it's slower, this also usually just means your cable is a lower grade.


    WiFi will ALWAYS have more lost packets than Wired its just a simple fact, you will 100% have a more enjoyable experience wired.

    Cable will ALWAYS give you a way more reliable experience than radio.

    For gaming : 100Mbps wired > 1Gbps WiFi

    That's not even a contest.

    Agreed, wired if you have the option is better. You may want to check your RJ45 cable is CAT6 at least. CAT7 is probably overkill for home network, but ofc better cable is better.
