Do y"all not use the magic adapters that you plug in by your router, then by your PC to make a lan cable out of the electric wiring? That improved my cable management so much
Power over Ethernet adapters have some serious limitations. MoCa adaptors which use existing coaxial connections, even if you have cable internet, can provide greater speed and better latency than Poe. To be honest though, copper ethernet or fiber ethernet or generally the best way to go.
Drill through the walls or be lazy and run a cable over the roof
To clarify, powerline adapters are what you mean. Power over Ethernet is just that, providing a current over an ethernet cable.
1.21 jiggawhats worth of power over Ethernet
It's all about compromises. Aside from a massive solar flare ravaging the earth or a small rabbit nibbling on the wires, there's not much that will disturb the signal using an ethernet cable. Wifi is sensitive to other wifi and various home appliances, PLC can easily pick noises from a faulty device anywhere in your house (or your neighbor's…) and have to reduce speed to maintain an acceptable signal/noise ratio, etc.
How are your upload/download speeds using those?
I used to have them. They work in a pinch, but it's not the most solid connection in the world from personal experience.
Not as good as normal lan, but much better than wifi, and is easier to manage than a 50ft cord, so pros and cons
Faster than your internet. Probably not a good option if you want to hook up a NAS, though.
Those are called Powerline adapters and they are so easy to use and secure. I use them so I don't have to drag cables across the house
