Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To access a network via an Ethernet connection, users need to connect a device using ethernet cable. An Ethernet connection is generally faster than a WiFi connection and provides greater reliability and security.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber transmits data at speeds far exceeding current DSL or cable modem speeds, typically by tens or even hundreds of Mbps.

Detailed explanation-3: -Speed: Wired networks are way faster than wireless internet connections. This is because data is transferred through cables. Devices are connected directly through cables and this is why the speeds are often higher than any wireless broadband connection.

Detailed explanation-4: -However, with the constant advancement in wifi technology, the difference in speed is getting smaller. An ethernet connection can support speeds up to 10 Gbps, depending on the cable you use, and the speeds offered on your plan. New wifi standards can offer speeds up to 866.7 Mbps.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ethernet (/ˈiːərnɛt/) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN).
