Physical Differences in Communication Technologies
Fiber-optic cables transmit light pulses without radio interference, ensuring minimal latency and the ability to open any network ports for servers or cameras. Mobile internet shares the radio frequency with all nearby smartphones, which causes ping to spike during evening hours and sessions to be forcibly dropped by the base station.
What to Consider When Choosing a Connection
- Opt for a wired connection if you need constant access to your home network or security cameras
- For country-house 4G routers, mount an external directional antenna closer to the base station
- Lock down specific frequency bands in your mobile modem settings to stabilize the channel
