    Of course, the ethernet will depend on your home internet setup, but I definitely recommend it if you can use it! Thanks for watching!

    By the way for those wondering MTU stands for "Maximum Transmission Unit" or in simple terms. How much data you're getting in a single packet from the Internet at a time. 1500 Means 1500 bytes, or 1.5 KB, but this is a pack of data, a single one. If you think of it like this. Let's say you get 1.5kb every 100th of a second, vs 1.4kb (1400 bytes)
    So 150KB every second, vs 140KB per second.
    1000KB equals a Megabyte, since 150*20 is 3k, but 140*20 is only 2.8k That means for every 3MB's of data transferred, you're losing out on 200kb, over time this magnifies a lot when you're transferring 100's of MB. Because at 300MB, you're losing essentially 20MB. or around 6.7% of data transfer capability.

    Another thing, start playing a game that DOES use internet, it WILL pause the download, but once the game loads close it and it will start the download, but now it'll go faster. Repeat if necessary.
