powerline network adapters? Let me share some EOP experience: I actually use it since the nineties (the famous blue Devolos; last century!). In theory ethernet over powerline is a bunch of issues lacking performance. The reality is the opposite: Astoundingly reliable, good transmission rates and an almost perfect replacement for real copper ethernet. In a little company we have one workplace w/o physical ethernet wiring. For about a decade now we have WLAN and Powerline-eth in place in parallel. So I can compare them. Powerline ethernet is clearly the winner. Almost the same incident level like physical wires. And much quicker to fix :wink: One secret is definitely to use of best quality hardware. I always refused other boxes than Devolo stuff. I’m convinced AVM-Fritz has reached at least the same level of professional performance. All other products are no legitimate options in my limited imagination. And yes, of course there is a Turris Omnia providing the data to both methods of data transmission :slight_smile: However, looking back 30 years on these little wall plugs I can recommend powerline ethernet even for all the cases where it is seemingly impossible to use: Works like a charm. Just my experience.
