    In short:

    • wifi can suffer from interference, especially in the 2.4GHz band where bluetooth and microwaves live too
    • if you have older wifi gear or (small) iot devices and did not separate them, they could downforce the connection
    • depending on the network interfaces, ethernet speeds can be up to 2.5Gbps for consumer, and 10Gbps for “prosumer” devices
    • it is much easier to intercept wireless traffic, but it is generally decently encrypted nowadays (wpa2/3)

    So it depends on what you want to connect: is it fixed, or mobile? do you live in a cloud of wifi? what about speed, security? Yes: It will make a difference , it is up to you to decide whether it’s worth it.
