Benefits
The use of the wired Internet (LAN) at the University has a number of advantages over WiFi. These include:
- higher bandwidth, potentially higher speeds for downloading and uploading files
- always an available alternative if WiFi /Wireless LAN is unavailable
- radio signals can not be intercepted on LAN, so it could be regarded as more secure. However, it still encrypts all wireless transmissions.
