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

Wired is so much better.

    Just to add that proper mesh systems are distinct from extenders as they will use separate mesh channels for back haul. They also have the “travel AP” things which act as extenders but form a new network on a different channel. You can actually do this with many Android phones as well.

      This is the information I couldn’t really squeeze in without side tracking my entire point.

      There are “good” extenders, that use different channels/radios, but the cheap ones people buy are not those.
