Brother printer replacing HP. Wireless with 4 computers. CenturyLink DSL modem & Google MESH base all in the same room.
Persistent wireless problems with the HP 8740 (the HP 8710 just fine).
I want to protect against the Brother losing wireless connection at the worst moment so I'm going to connect the Brother with cable just to be sure.
I've got a choice. Run a printer cable from the Brother to the primary, desktop computer or connect the Brother with a USB ethernet to the modem.
Is there an obvious preference, aside from the Brother then being device on the home network, between the two wired (in addition to wireless) connections?
