Hi John and Rich,
for beginners, I recommend using the installation via a USB stick because the possibility of problems is less. Once the procedure is mastered in this way, the user can continue to work via wifi.
Just because you didn’t have a problem doesn’t mean someone else won’t. I will give an example. A short disconnection on the Router will abort the installation. It will not be noticed on internet access but the installation will not do. For example, a weak connection to a router can also create difficulties. It was written on this forum about that as well.
I speak from experience because I also had problems, and I work every day at such a job.
I have only ever used WiFi with Genos and previously Tyros. Everything seems to happen very smoothly, no need to provide separate identification and often additional content adds to the existing without lengthy reformatting being necessary, compared to the more clunky usb method that from comments raised on the forum appears to be more "fussy" in its requirements.

@jwyvern - quite the opposite, over WiFi you’re never sure if it will format from scratch or not. With the Quick method via USB, this is always a quick installation.
