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

Wired is so much better.

    Was it not possible to draw Ethernet, or did they just want the cheapest solution? I consulted for a place that had a similar situation, and it was unacceptable for most of the students due to the jitter. So we drew Ethernet and put mini APs in each room.

      It’s always possible, but not often practical, especially when you don’t have permission to drill holes in those concrete walls.

      I suppose you could do surface runs, but those are ugly and more vulnerable to physical damage.
