Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.
Wired is so much better.
I love my EoP but yes, it's a big noisy bus. Ok for small checkins and pings etc. like wifi every device on the bus takes a time slot away from another. I do want to see what my electrical upgrade from old wires to thicker gauge inside of grounded EMT does for it though.
