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

Wired is so much better.

    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.

            It does.
            But I mean you asked

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

            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?
