I have a mac mini 2018 connected to the same router/network, but using ethernet cable, and iOS device, connected to the same router/network, but using wifi.
But i can't use universal clipboard to paste text from ios to mac and vice versa. Should i connect my mac mini to the same network via wifi only in order to get it work?
I'm guessing here, but it your network settings may have the ethernet interface prioritized above the AirPort (this is the default setting), meaning that when both are connected it'll try to reach the internet through the ethernet connection. You can check this easily be looking at the order the network "services" are listed in the sidebar of the Network system preference pane. If Ethernet is prioritized above AirPort, change it by selecting Set Service Order from the action (gear) pop-up menu below the service list, then dragging AirPort above Ethernet. Note that you need to click the Apply button for the change to take effect.
It could be an duplex mismatch problem: small packets, like the ones ping sends, get through while large packets (as generated when browsing the web) get delayed or lost, which leads to poor performance.
This problem may arise either when the autonegotiation process between your Mac Mini and the Netgear minihub fails or when speed/duplex mode are set manually and don't match at both ends.
To solve the problem you first need to check the Ethernet settings:
Then:
If configure is set to "Automatically":
autonegotiation is on. Change it to "Manually" and try different Speed and Duplex settings, for example:
until the problem is gone. Note that you must press OK for the settings to take effect.
If configure is set to "Manually", change it to "Automatically" and test.
If nothing helps, try another hub or connect your Mac directly to the router. If that solves the problem replace your hub.

I had to turn off / on handoff on ios (or restart it), then it worked. So it works even without wifi on the mac, you only need to have bluetooth on and being connected to the same router.
