SACD Ripping using an Oppo or Pioneer? Yes, it's true!

Wireless is always an alchemy. The speed depends on connection quality which depends on so many factors - obstacles (and their type) between you and the router (especially walls from concrete, not to speak about metal!), how properly the external antennas are mounted, reflections from walls, and mainly noise from other WiFis from all of your neighbours. The 2.4GHz band is pretty overcrowded everywhere and most people do not even care to configure the channels, so that all routers broadcast on the same default channel (automatic choice of channel is usually not very smart either). Constant streaming applications must thus either be extremely robust or they just have serious issues. I do not expect ripping from a physical media to leave much space for robustness and random delays in transmission. Even though the wireless technology has improved a lot during the last 15 years, it is also much more widely spread and using wires is still much safer and more reliable.

You can't go wrong with the consistency of hard wire.
