Default Wireless router - hardwired to a PC

Supposing I had a wireless network set up with a couple of networks connecting wirelessly, and I now want to hard wire a third connection directly from the wireless router to the 3rd computer. Obviously the network is now being shared out 3 ways instead of 2, but would the hardwired computer recieve any priority from the router simply because its hardwired. Would it run at a faster rate than the other 2. please explain. Many thanks, Rob

I don't think it would get preference, but it would get better speeds due to direct connectivity instead of broadcast. Wireless is slower than copper, basically.

Wired is faster than wireless no matter how many are hooked up...

So, to answer your question, yes it would be faster, but not for the reasons you state.
