Fiber > copper > wireless in pretty much every case.

But, it is possible for there to be issues that are a major PITA with any of them.

I've been a network engineer since '99. Weather and poorly installed/maintained copper (or fiber) can have issues in very wet environments (copper is more susceptible than fiber). Either of the 2 wired versions of network connectivity are almost always going to be more stable, reliable, and secure than anything wireless.

But these days all 3 can be VERY fast, stable, and reliable.
