Use a wired connection instead of wifi for even faster downloads

Although we’ve shown that a wired connection is faster than wifi, there are some instances where using wifi is still your best option. If you have to use public wifi, or if you need to keep an internet-connected device on at all times (like a security camera or baby monitor), then using wifi is the better choice. For everyone else, though, using a wired connection should give you the fastest download speeds possible.

If you’re looking for an even faster download, consider using a wired connection instead of wifi. Wired connections are much faster than wifi and can give you the speed you need to quickly download your files. With the right tools, you can make sure that your downloads happen as quickly as possible so you can start enjoying your new content right away. Have you tried using a wired connection to speed up your downloads?
