Do routers give priority to an Ethernet connection over a wireless one?

[mdoglol]

I have two computers that connect to my router, one via Ethernet and the other a wireless connection.

I've been wondering this for a while now, and I think there are routers that will do this, but in general is this the case?

No, to the router they are the same thing. Just packets/frames. Some routers do have quality of service that you can configure.

One of these days I'm going to do some research and find out why my connection feels faster wirelessly on my laptop than wired on my desktop.

It's the opposite of what I expected.

Probably cabling or a nic/driver problem. Wired is very much faster in everyway to wireless.

Yeah, I've seen your replies to similar problems, so I know what to check. It just has to get to the top of my priority list. I fibbed a little bit earlier. Thanks for the reply.

Something is wrong, hell WLAN is half-duplex vs. full duplex on LAN, allreday there WLAN is way behind
