it really depend on the actually speed but if you are using the same speed to test, you will actually see that wired is much faster than WIFI. They have not yet created a WIFI router that is more than 80% efficient so that means if your speed is 100mbps with wifi you will get less than 85mbps.

Very true. It really depends on how far you are on a wifi signal. Lan is a different story. You could get the same speed of very long lengths of cable from a lan cable. But there is some sayings that on how long the LAN cable is, The more it gets slower. Another thing is when the LAN cable gets heated, The data transfer is really slow. So pretty much WIFI is a go if you want wireless access and no cable hassle.

Using wired LAN is much faster than WIFI. And based on my experienced wired LAN is much has a stable connection than the WIFI.

The wire will always give you the fastest connection given that the same speed is on both the wire and the WiFi or BlueTooth ;)
