WiFi vs Ethernet OctoPi

Is there any performance advantage of using a wired connection vs wireless. Just built my MK3S, my first 3d printer, just waiting on some parts that were missing.

Hi,

I run my octopi by wireless. It was simple and painless to setup. But a wired connection will be more robust and less likely to fail or be disturbed by other problems that wireless can have.

Choose which ever method makes you happy. You won't be wrong.

Just the file upload speeds and maybe if you have video streaming but frankly, modern WiFi is more than this task needs.
