Here is a comparison of the Xbox One with a WiFi connection vs. a Hard-wired connection.
These tests were done back-to-back at approx. 3pm with no other usage on my home network.
"Detailed Network Statistics" Test
Router used: Apple Airport Extreme 6th generation.
These tests were done with "Open NAT"

.:From the Xbox website:.
Download speed, which is critical for streaming content and playing multiplayer games on Xbox Live.
Upload speed, which only affects your ability to play multiplayer games on Xbox Live.
Download packet loss, which is critical for streaming content and playing multiplayer games on Xbox Live.
MTU, which needs to meet a minimum of 1384 MTU or higher to play games on Xbox Live. Checking and adjusting your router settings could quickly resolve many gaming issues if this setting is too low.
Latency, which is a networking term for delay of packet delivery. It's measured by how many milliseconds it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. This can affect streaming, but only by an app timing out. However, latency can drastically affect multiplayer gaming, because you'll be delayed on what you see versus what's happening on the server. In other words, if you have high latency, your game character could be killed before you ever see your opponent on the screen.
Wireless strength, which measures the strength of your Internet signal. The closer your signal is to 100 percent, the better your Xbox One connection results will be. Wireless interference that causes low-signal strength is the leading reason for latency and packet loss. This test is designed to test a point in time, so if you remove causes of wireless interference between your router and your Xbox One, you should retest to see what kind of improvement your adjustment made. This test can help you narrow down what's causing wireless interference and how much it's affecting your Xbox One experience.
