I'm surprised Ethernet over Power doesn't seem to get more attention. It's basically Ethernet cabling without running any new wires. It was the only thing that fixed wifi availability throughout our townhouse.
I'd be interested to know how a wifi mesh performs in comparison, but I can't see how it could be nearly as good, without being much more conspicuous.

I adore Ethernet over power, it makes my life so much better, but oddly doesn't get very much attention.
What a house should have in any case, is a good network and Ethernet plugs in every room. This makes the addition of new gadgets much easier I found. I must admit I’ve not gone the WiFi mesh route, but it looks interesting as well. Guess I’m just old school on that.
