'''Ethernet''' is a type of [[computer]] [[network]]. Using this system, computers are connected using Ethernet cables, which are designed for high-speed data transfer. Wireless internet (WiFi) has been progressively pushing Ethernet in obsoletion, but it has not fully succeeded yet. Although WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) connections are convenient, they still have difficulty competing with the speed of Ethernet. Additionally, cybersecurity experts generally agree that using hard-[[wire]]d ([[cable]]) [[network]]s like Ethernet rather than [[wireless]]/[[WiFi]], can increase [[computer security]] and [[home security]] when combined with other appropriate [[technology]]. | '''Ethernet''' is a type of [[computer]] [[network]].
