Hi chmc,

In general, yes, a hardwired computer will be faster than wireless. We use wireless laptops, so it certainly can be done.

Why don't you use an ethernet cable to plug the laptop in, and see if it runs faster? Many laptops are set up so the laptop has to be plugged into AC power, rather than running on battery, to recognize the ethernet adapter.

Hope this helps!
