Do you need an ethernet cable or can just use wifi if wifi is good?

Hey new user here. Just curious if each band member needs an ethernet cable connected to router or if we can just use wifi.

Dear Trevor,
Thanks for your question. To play together in sync (especially for uptempo music), make sure each band member uses an Ethernet cable https://a.co/d/j1DvwOk to connect their computer to the router that receives the internet signal where it enters the home. If a computer doesn’t have an Ethernet port, use an Ethernet adapter (for USB-C https://a.co/d/ikp4GXW or USB-A https://a.co/d/ajItQ5y). Ethernet cables can be up to 300 ft long without signal degradation and can be rolled out just for FarPlay sessions.
You can experiment with just using Wi-Fi, but it’s common to find that Wi-Fi doesn’t give low enough latency for playing together (even when other uses that don’t need low latency, like talking over Zoom and watching videos on YouTube, are fine on Wi-Fi).
Thank you,
David Liao
