Have you read any literature on gigabit Ethernet vs. USB?
They aren't equal, and there are a lot of variables, but Ethernet usually comes out as the champion due to a variety of factors. Of course, there are a variety of Ethernet types as well as USB types. At first appearance, you would think they are equal, or in fact just look at the bus rates and assume USB has the advantage, but there is overhead protocol to consider as well as your actual internet speed. It's messy, the best thing to do is conduct proper tests repeadedly which we can't do entirely.
We'll never know, because our Wii U's have no ethernet port for us to conduct proper complete tests :
WiFi vs. USB 2.0 vs. Ethernet.

oh i see... the fact that it connects using usb means its not a true ethernet wired connection..
but..
ethernet transports 125MB/s of data...and usb 2.0 is only 60MB/s....but my internet is only 2MB/s download speed anyway...so it shouldn't matter?
well...wifi works better for me than the lan adpator...the other poster had the same expeirence. so just connect wifi people..
thnx for that bit of clarification solidty..
