my internet is thru WOW and i have a Webstar modem that accepts netowrk cable or USB
the other day my integrated network port on my motherboard went bad so i started using the USB port instead
lately i've been wondering which is better to use
i have a pci 10/100 network card that i can put in my computer and go back to using network cable but i don't want to mess with that if the USB provides a faster data transfer
anyone know? should i stick with the USB or go back to Cat5?
Using ethernet is preferred for a LAN. The implementation is more robust.
While USB is a faster bus, that speed is not gaining you anything in this situation since your internet connection is much slower than either the USB or the ethernet.
