Hi, so my laptop is usually always connected to wifi but sometimes I use Ethernet, so what happens when my laptop is already connected to wifi and I connect it to the Ethernet? Does the connection speed increase? Does it stay the same? Thanks

    Doesn’t really change that much unless of course you have a weak signal for some reason. In that case, having it wired will give you better speed and some say ethernet is safer too.

    it uses one or the other mainly should take the faster internet ‘Ethernet’

    No sir it doesnt matter at all. The thing i have to tell to you is that our computer only uses one of your internet adapter(wifi/ethernet), so it doesnt matter at all.
    Hope this helped,
