Just dug out a couple of Ethernet cables. Will be going from wireless to wired on the two smart TVs in my living room. I figure why not? I have two open ports on my router and this will give better security and a higher download speed for streaming as I get a download speed of ~100Mb/sec wired but only ~30-40Mb/sec wireless.
On just one set the higher download speed probably won't make a difference but, sometimes for sports, I'll stream to both sets. Don't really know if it will make a difference as to streaming but might as well go the fastest that I can and it will make for better security.

Did the same thing to my Roku, ran a wire to it after a couple of years being wireless.

I've never jumped on the wireless bandwagon unless i've had too, simply because wireless is too easy to hack and living in an apartment block i have no idea how skilled my neighbours are... the exception being my mobile phone which i can't wire and don't really do anything on anyway <insert famous last words lol>.
For sure running the cables can be a pita as i'm about to find out again because i need to replace my old CAT5 cables for CAT6 now i have 1Gig fibre as part of my long overdue migration from Win7 to Win10 (CAT 7 or 8 would be overkill for my needs).
