I bought Minecraft Java on my MacBook Air 2015 13 ", downloaded the file successfully and started Minecraft.dmg. I had to log in and then when I clicked on log in there was an Internet connection check. My W-LAN has full bars and websites have been slower to open recently, should I buy a LAN cable there, is the internet faster then? Tips?
This will be a longer report:
We're always on the Internet. We watch television on the Internet, surf from the sofa with the tablet or with the laptop on the terrace. And we're also online at home with our smartphones. The internet is part of our life like sleeping and eating. Whether searching for information or communicating via the Internet: we use this technology as a matter of course. The question remains, however, which is better. WLAN or LAN network? Wireless or with a cable connection? What are the advantages, what are the disadvantages?
LAN network is more secure
If you are afraid of too much electromagnetic radiation, a LAN network in your own four walls should be a matter of course. However, if you want to lay LAN cables in your entire home, you will have to suffer the multitude of cables. It is better to have those who have cable ducts in their walls in their home. You can find out how to hide cables nicely in our guide.
The LAN network is clearly superior to WLAN in terms of security. Successful attacks on WLAN are becoming known again and again.
Other reasons for LAN network
But there are more reasons why a LAN network is more secure. There are other ways to interfere with WLAN signals, for example so-called jammers, which ensure that the WLAN connection no longer works. And the creation of fake WLAN networks by hackers is also common. This is how hackers try to get your private information, passwords, etc. You can find out what you need to know about the Wi-Fi security of hotspots in our blog post Wi-Fi hotspot.
Attacks such as those that hackers repeatedly encounter on WLAN networks are ineffective with a LAN network. An attacker would already need physical access to your computer to be successful. Therefore, a wired LAN connection is much safer than connecting via a WLAN network.
LAN network is faster
In addition to safety when surfing, speed also always plays a role. The connection via a LAN network is inherently faster than a WLAN connection or a wireless network. This is mainly due to the number of simultaneous connections. Mobile phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart home devices, the television - if there are several people in the household who all use the WLAN network at the same time, the connection can weaken and become slow. You normally have a faster connection with a LAN connection.
Structural conditions such as concrete walls or swimming pools can also interfere with the WLAN connection and even lead to disconnections. In general, the higher the transmission frequency, the more walls and floors absorb. And the more walls and floors absorb, the less reception there's on the end device.
WLAN or LAN?
If you would like to immediately equip your entire apartment with a LAN network now, you should consider: LAN cables are not an option for smartwatches, smartphones and other Internet-of-Things devices. Or maybe you have a smartphone or even one Have you seen a smartwatch on the LAN cable? And even with the laptop on the balcony, the connection via LAN network is rather impractical. In addition: If you basically only have slow internet because your provider is no longer able to provide, even the best LAN cable will not help.
So ultimately the mobility factor decides
This problem has nothing to do with security. If the internet is good enough to download something, you have to be able to register. I don't think it has anything to do with Lan or WLan.
That was just copy & paste! Does this help with my problem? Can I then register in MC?
