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

Wired is so much better.

The only thing they are good at doing is producing loads of RFI and pissing off every ham radio operator in the area.

    One of the best no-noise locations I ever did was in a fully powered-down sailboat in the southern lagoon at Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas. Leaky consumer electronics are the worst.

    To contrast, I managed to work Indonesia from Alamogordo NM despite being in a residential neighborhood, HVAC capacitors and foreign over-the-horizon-radar (OTHR) be damned. Taught me a lot about being patient and picking out transmissions in the noise.
