      Yeah it does, but definitely not as well. I’ve had much better results with the USB connected directly.

        Huh? It works perfectly without a wire.

        It doesn’t use your wifi router, it uses a direct (peer to peer) wifi connection between your computer and the tablet, which if they’re next to each other (e.g. a laptop and a tablet), will be faster than USB.

        If it’s a tower PC under a timber desk with a crappy wifi antenna, then yeah that won’t work as well as a cable. Timber is pretty effective at blocking wifi.

          My statement is based on direct experience of janky frame drops between an iPad pro and a MacBook pro sitting next to each other on the couch. I suspected some potential interference issues so I went back to USB and it was buttery smooth again. Might not match your experience but in my environment that’s how it went down.

          Depends on USB gen. Because 3.2 can transfer data faster than WiFi 6
