Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

    So - PoE = bad? Otherwise not sure what real-world scenario your second case covers?

      To be fair, there are some less-than-optimal PoE implementations like “passive PoE”. I’ve heard stories where the wrong PoE mode destroyed network gear.

        Yeah, active PoE is the only kind worth buying. Passive PoE is an accident waiting to happen.
