I use it to have connection to my washing machine in the basement, I live in the 2nd floor. It works fine. It’s nice to have a notification when the washing is done.
we’re currently using powerline as a stopgap until we can get around to running cables in the attic for a couple of our security cameras. we get about 300 megabit! not terrible imho
For anyone else that needs it, there’s also stuff for co-ax. Some cable guy went nuts putting coaxial cable into just about every room of my new (very old) house. I seriously considered MoCA for a bit, but wifi is working well enough for the moment.
+1 for MoCA, for a while I had to have my server in my room because I didn’t have anywhere else with Ethernet, it got so damn hot in here and it was louuud. But I finally learned about moca, ordered an adapter for it and moved the server to the basement. It has worked perfectly so far. The only issue I’ve had is that one time, it started having like 50% package loss, resetting the adapter fixed it though
No, but close! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication
I used this for a couple of years. Worked great.
It kind of depends on what fuse your outlets are on and how your place is wired.
It is a gamble, but when it works, it works great!

I hear a temporary solution about to become permanent 😄
There is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix. Lol
oh god i hope not. I have an ibm mainframe chassis in the garage i’m converting into a high temperature rack, and that’s going to need fiber xD
I got you
