Moving it back to ethernet will likely result it its being noticeably faster unless its set for duplex operation. My HL-3170-CDW speeds up noticeably except for the multisecond lag while it pulls the paper back in to re-route it thru and print the back side. I have it setup so I can use either interface, but my usb is only 2.0 (old Asus board), much slower at moving the data than the 100MBit ethernet connection.
