      @edmaul69 transferring roms through ethernet is 1000’s of times faster. Any wireless connection is far too slow

        I first used Putty, but far too slow due to encryption. I then tried FileZilla, much much faster, but still use Putty to access the PI and run or edit some thinga via Putty through a console on the Windows desktop. N ever used wireless, far too slow and problems with connections as you've found out

        Transferring ROMs via FileZilla is about as fast as you will get over an thernet cable, which is what I use but I use cat6 cables
