Wifi is pretty unreliable as it is right now. Wi-fi vastly undercuts your internet speed. Most ISP's provide a certain speed, but the speed is only guaranteed when wired directly into the router.

ISPs don't have control of the speeds between two devices on the same network; only speeds between two networks connected via the internet. A phone and computer on the network can transfer data as fast as the slowest network adapter or router, permitting that nothing else is using the connection. My router can push ~356 Mbps to a device via WiFi, if the device supports it, and I think 1 Gbps through a wired connection, if the device supports it. However, I wonder how much information the HoloLense is processing every second. It shouldn't be an extreme amount, looking at the size of the device.

I'm assuming you live in Europe with internet speeds like that?
