So you’ve read all the studies about our Wireless Wonderland, and you’d like to go wired.
You’ve also watched my first video, No More WiFi: How to wire your home for internet.
You’re not big on drilling holes and running cables everywhere, so you decide to use powerline ethernet or ethernet over coax.
Before you go that route, there are a few things you should know about these two home networking solutions.
Not only are they generally more expensive than ethernet cabling, but they’re also usually not as fast or reliable…
Off we go:

Great information as usual. I would recommend those looking into powerline ethernet read Dr. Samuel Milham’s book “Dirty Electricity” first. I did, and decided against using powerline ethernet which creates dirty electricity throughout your house by design. Your video clearly emphasizes the superior characteristics of coaxial cable over powerlines but this book shows the health impacts.
