"And those packets all get checked for errors"Maybe, if they are TCP packets. Maybe not if they are UDP packets.
And even if the packet is corrected the retransmission might be too late as audio is realtime so the packet gets dropped and you hear it as noise.
As a HAM Radio guy from way back and based on experience I can tell you that RF is no where near as reliable as a physical wire. I'm not saying Wifi won't work. It does for many people, but I've seen so many more Wifi related problems posted around here compared to hardwired Ethernet.
YES YMMV, and if you have a solid Wifi setup that's great. Many folks don't and to eliminate all the variables that Wifi introduces, I always recommend hardwired Ethernet whenever possible.
No, it has nothing to do with speed. Even hi-res streaming doesn't require much bandwidth.
