The speed does not increase…..It doesn’t decrease either…..The only thing that happens is that the ethernet cable will be able to share the WiFi internet connection…..
B.
i agree it will be option b
Depends on which connection is active. If youre already on the internet with WiFi it will just continue using that until you activate the ethernet.
