IMO, if you've got a modern, fast, computer and a USB 2 connection,
you'll barely notice the difference. That being said, I prefer
Ethernet whenever possible.
In theory, I guess the fastest WiFi setup might be limited by the
speed of USB2, but I've never seen it.
If the WiFi signal is marginal, you can do *much* better by using a
USB WiFi adapter at the end of a long USB cable, for better antenna
location. I just did this for someone. A 20 ft USB cable let me get
the antenna close to the door of his kid's room so the kid could share
the family broadband connection on his first computer, for Christmas.
IOW, It depends.
