Just curious what the vast majority of people use.

I normally use a wired connection but forgot to hook it up and didn't realize I was on Wi-Fi until after my trading session. :D
 
I use both.

They're designed these days so that you can log in via both or you can "disconnect" from one so that the other is the only one you're using.

Obviously if I want to sit on my patio and trade...I would have to use the WiFi.

Yet, away from home and trading...portable (mobile/pocket) WiFi...slower but sufficient for basic needs. Rarely used for trading purposes.

If you use decent WiFi gear and you're not after milliseconds of difference you should have no issue.

However, if you're in a high density area go wired every time.

If you have a large home and brick walls, install multiple WIRED access points. I use Ubiquiti Unifi gear and have 4xAPs.

If you don't understand overlapping frequencies get an IT/Comms/Network guy who knows his shit to do it.
 
Both. I use wired for my main trading rig, and a laptop for smaller stuff.

I have a decent router that runs fast and is reliable.

Comcast cable connection, which goes out every once in a while... that pisses me off. I had to close a trade on my phone via cell tower connection once.
