1 year agoCertainly not. Wifi lacks the bandwidth 1 Gb Ethernet has. If you have multiple devices, they all share the maximum bandwidth of Wifi, which is typically around 700Mb total, compared to each device getting a full 1Gb on Ethernet.
You cannot share Ethernet with splitters. Each device needs it’s own cable back to a switch.
