So, I just recently got a day one copy so no other updates were done. Just to confirm, a 19GB update for 1.11 is a collection of the other updates since the release right?
...it all depends how much DL you have in first place, if it is up to 25Mbps download, you won't notice difference between cable and WiFi, if it is above 25Mbps, well, WiFi is basically limited to around 2x 27Mbps in ideal conditions... so you will get higher download speeds over LAN/cable.

As someone who works with wireless in the IT world, this makes me chuckle. In *theory* the PS4 'fat' console, running a single band 802.11n 2.4 GHz wifi card will only ever achieve a max of 35.5Mbps assuming that it is the ONLY thing running across the wireless network and there is ZERO interference. The two above points are incredibly unlikely in a home environment.
The PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim both get upgrades to 802.11ac with 5 GHz frequency capabilities. This is, again in theory, capable of up to 1.3 Gbps throughput assuming no interference and no devices on the network. Also, most home routers won't be able to deliver this. Realistic performance for a 'home hub' running 802.11ac on 5GHz in a clean channel is ~59-63 Mbps.
Actual download speeds are then HUGELY impacted by the latency, which is generally higher on a wireless rather than wired network - but that is a great deal of detail to go in to a 'tune'. The main things that you'd care most about with this is PS remote play - it's almost unusable on a wireless connection.
TL;DR if you're running a PS4 'fat' console, then 100% cabled is better. If you live alone and own a PS4 Pro or Slim then wireless will be more or less the same performance as wired for downloading (as Sony servers limit how fast you can download at well below the max capabilities of a PS4). If there are other devices on the network (tablets, phones or anything else) then cabled will be significantly faster, and more stable for online play, than wireless.
I always use a direct cable connection for PS4. Teenage kids hogging the wifi watching YouTube V1.11 Update on 300meg broadband took longer to copy files and install than download
Btw the download is done guys lol my router was put off by people in the house a couple times but, Ive noticed that PS4 consoles "save" parts of the data from the download and just resume with the other bits when the download resumes? It seems like this is so?

Yes, my download has stopped before and when I got it going again it resumed from where it had got to. It didn’t have to start again from the beginning thankfully!
