2 Basic Wired-Wireless Connection Questions

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.networking.connectivity (More info?)

I have a B-type wireless router with 4 additional ports. My typical
wireless connection is:

o Wireless Signal Strength: "Excellent"

o Network Connection Speed: 11 Mbps

o Internet Download Speed: 2,600-2,800 mbps

(1) Is there any reason to connect to my network by a CAT-5 cable, instead
of the wireless connection, when I am working in the room with the router?

(2) Is there any reason to connect to my network by both a CAT-5 cable and
the wireless connection when I am working in the room with the router?

TIA!

If you are changing settings in the router itself, you need to connect
through cat5. After you are finished, you can go wireless.
