Orbi™ WiFi 6 AX6000 Mesh WiFi System Connection Question

Hello,

 

I will be setting up a Orbi™ WiFi 6 AX6000 Mesh WiFi System with the router and two satelletiles with wirless connections.  I am planning to use this system to back up a large amount of data (500GB to 1TB) currently residing on my late-2016 Macbook Pro, and an attached Samsung T7 SSD drive, to the cloud.  

 

My question is if there would be any advantage (for example, speed, reliability, etc) to connecting the Macbook Pro to one of the Orbi satellites using an hardwired ethernet connection versus just connectiong the Macbook Pro to the wireless network? 

 

Thank you!

Depending on placemennt and configuration of the RBS from the RBR. Wireless or wired would work. I have a Mac Book Pro 2018 and it works wirelessly fine, thought I don't do a lot of file xfers. I occasionally get OSX installation files from the cloud and send off to my NAS. WIreless xfers go fairly fast. It usually takes about 10 minutes or less for 9-12gb over wireless. Though not in a hurry either. I'm mostly mobile with my mac book so wired isn't practical. Wired is always more stable than wireless.
