Hard-wire Ethernet is always preferable over WiFi, not for speed but for stability - WiFi has a bad habit of dropping packets (considering you are basically beaming sound on radio waves across several walls it's honestly impressive it manages as well as it does).You'll also want a fairly fast connection - most home broadband should do, but go to [https://speedtest.net Speedtest.net] to check your speed - you'll want at least a couple mbps on the upload line. If you're having issues, 4G may work better than home broadband, but that causes reliability issues, so broadband is always preferable.

The line is only as good as it's stability - WiFi may be fine when you first test it, but can you guarantee that will be the case when you are doing your show? A connection actively shared between 4 people is not 1/4 as good as one only you are using, it will be significantly less reliable. If you can't manage a wired connection, consider what time your show should be scheduled, or ask the people you share the internet with if they could curtail their usage for the period of your show.
