You can use WiFi as long as the speed and stability of the connection is sufficient enough. Why not unplug the ethernet cable and give WiFi a go - it might work perfectly for you. Check the network settings on the puck as you may have to turn WiFi on if it's been off whilst you've been using ethernet.

Hi @Gos63 and welcome to the forum. People find that an Ethernet connection can be more stable but if you have a good speed and stable WiFi then you do not need to use the Ethernet cable.

Personally I don't find any difference on my stream puck whether it is on WiFi or Ethernet but I have it on the latter as the cabling is already built into my apartment so I might as well use it.
