Use a Poweline adaptor to put a hotspot in your study or carry on with
the router acting as a hotspot etc?


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

The issue, AFAIAC, is that having been bitten twice by Powerline crap,
I'm reluctant to try any more. The issue isn't the throughput (I'm
getting better throughput from it than the broadband), but that it
goes away altogether every few minutes.

I've not had that problem on powerline. Just on brodcomm crappy wifi
drivers.
