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

Wired is so much better.

    I mean does anyone go for power line adapters as their first choice when straight up ethernet is an option?

        Powerline is so leaky it is basically wireless with wires. 14x3 is not a transmission line, but it does effectively turn your whole home electrical system into both a transmitting and receiving antenna that just happens to talk to it’s self. It’s an engineering nightmare.

          I use them to extend my network from my 3rd story apartment to my garage. Wireless doesn’t reach, pulling a cable would be very difficult and expensive.
