Wi-Fi is good, but….

A wired connection is even better. When I was moving my files from my tower to my laptop, I had a LAN already already set up, so I thought I’d just drag and drop the files. But when you’re moving over 60 gigs of files, a wi-fi LAN perhaps might not be the best of ideas. I was only getting 500 KBs/sec, and it would've taken me about 12 hours to do everything. But if I used a wired connection, it only took me about 3 hours. But since I didn’t have enough network cable available, my brother had to go without an internet connection while I did the move.

But if you’re not moving over 60 gigabytes of data from one computer to another, then wi-fi is generally good….
