>powerline / homeplug is solid

I think this is one of those "YMMV" things. For us, in an 60-ish year-old 4br house, we'd get occasional drop-outs, as well as relatively poor (~25MBps) performance.

For my BIL, in a newer house with his Xbox and the router on the same circuit, it's rock solid.



Yeah, I loved my Power line in my last rental accomodation, but it's way less effective in the house we bought, as the wiring is older. I may just end up running Ethernet cables.


Yep, depends on the quality of the wiring and how many other noisy things are on the circuit

I've had great several hundred meg connections fall on their face when the microwave was turned on
