I agree with Michael - wired Ethernet is very stable compared with Wireless. In crowed places where everyone has a WiFi router - the WiFi will experience random drops. There is the inconvenient of cabling the place up - but the stability is very much worth it - but I've using PowerLine adapters to ease my way through for a couple of years now and they've always proven more reliable than WiFi - but they do tend to have a bandwidth cap. Luis Let´s agree to disagree.
