The 'cable in the wall' goes back to the same router.

In answer to your question, no it won't make their WiFi faster.
Well...maybe a teeny bit, because your machine is now not sucking up WiFi resources. But not anything you'd actually notice.

or maybe then the ethernet cable has nothing to do with the router and therefor using the ethernet cable directly to my device decreases the pressure in the wifi and makes it faster cuz iam 100% sure its an ethernet cable

 


The less users you have sharing the same airway, the less collision, hence better.

Ethernet does collision too but the bandwidth is so much wider.
