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

In much of the world most houses will have existing electrical wiring but no network cabling.
Sure, but then the question is “can you install network cabling?” If yes, then do that. Even without the interference bit, power line adapters are so finicky and unreliable that they shouldn’t really be your go-to solution anyway
I think that the answer to “can you install network cabling” is mostly “no”. That’s why mesh networks are so popular these days.
Yeah but between power line and ethernet, it’s not a 1:1 comparison. If you can have ethernet you’ll likely install ethernet. Power line fills a need for ethernet-like internet when you can’t wire the place up.
Yes, we all know that. That’s what we’re telling you. Nobody is installing power line if running Ethernet is simple.
You seem to be expressing shock that people would choose powerline adapters as their first choice. People are replying to tell you that it’s not their first choice, but they chose it anyway because running Ethernet is often way too difficult.
Not sure why you’re adding any more, you’re literally agreeing with my comment, but sure, act like my comment was about future replies, and not the op.
Read the thread, and then ask yourself the question you just asked me.
Man your username fits.
It does.
But I mean you asked
And when someone “no, because…” and you keep replying with inane responses that sound like arguments but don’t actually say anything.
A recreation of the thread:
OP: power line adapters gave me network problems
A: nobody prefers power adapters
B: right, but it’s still the best option for some
A: people would prefer Ethernet
B: yes, but that’s not feasible for some
A: why are you replying if you agree?
B: ask yourself that. Do we agree or not?
