    Wifi is actually really good these days. I would be surprised if you could notice the difference given a wifi router in a decent spot.

      It really depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting to get out of the experience. For instance, streaming a game from a gaming pc to a Steam Deck or other portable unit works best when the pc is wired to the network.

      But that’s why you would put it near the router so you don’t have to use 100 ft of cable to do it, so meh.

        I use my steam deck to stream games over wifi. I cannot notice the performance difference between wifi.

          Well, I use mine to stream games over wifi and it works better when my pc is wired. Different situations require different set ups. That’s the beauty of having options.
