Use a Poweline adaptor to put a hotspot in your study or carry on with

Basically that's what I've done. I've attached the old router to a
powerline adapter and use it as an access point.

Powerline ethernet sucks syphilitic donkey dick.

Well it works but its only half duplex. And its shared. It's like going
back to 10base T coax. Only one person can use it in one direction at a
a time.

That was true back in the early naughties with the original CSMA/CD 14
Mbps PHY implementation. Not so for the current stuff - especially
HomePlug AV2 that has MIMO and can get real world throughput at over 500
Mbps

My homeplugs are brand new 500Mpbs and that is *exactly* how they behave.

I can load a file at 50MByte/s plus. I can sve a file at 50 MBytes/s plus

But if I am loading one, then saving*, then loading them
saving..1Mbytes/second.

I could probably tune TCP/IP to improve that, but why should I have to?


*essentially running handrakke on a file on the server to create another
file on yhet server.


It works but its no substitute for CAT 5

It may not be as good as CAT5 - but its clearly a substitute in many
circumstances where you don't have CAT5 ;-)
