  2. wireless vs. ethernet cable

    I'm using WIN10. For indefinite periods I have to hook up the ethernet cable to the router as my wireless is buffering and dropping constantly. Other times it works great. I'm assuming it's a server problem. I have only one company, Fairpoint, in a
    rural area and on facebook people complain constantly they have no internet. I have intermittant email problems a well.

    No - 2.4/5 GHZ refer to the wireless frequency.

    Ethernet comes in two speeds mostly - older 100 Mb/s (100 megabits) or more modern 1000 Mb/s (1 Gigabit). Of course, these are usually much faster than internet speeds even for slower 100 Mb/s unless you have amazingly fast broadband.
