Detailed explanation-1: -Wireless networks are more apt to be affected by outside interference, including walls, other devices, etc. As a result, wireless connectivity speeds tend to be slower than wired network speeds, which could cut down on your productivity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Performance – As a general rule of thumb, wireless networks perform worse than wired networks due to factors such as signal range, amount of connected devices, office furniture and building features such as lifts and pipework.
Detailed explanation-3: -Truth: wireless networks are less secure than wired. Communication signals being transmitted through the air/ radio waves are far more likely to get intercepted if the proper encryption (security) technologies are not in place.
Detailed explanation-4: -A wired network is one where the devices in the network are connected using cables. Most wired networks are Ethernet networks. Wireless networks use radio waves to connect devices. There are a range of wireless technologies, but the most common are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
