Discussion on: Are you using WiFi or Ethernet right now?

At home the modem is downstairs and I've installed a couple TL-PA4010 adapters upstairs to feed Ethernet among:

  1. two desktop computers in one room and
  2. one Steam Link in the other, so I can play with good latency in the bedroom from the PC in the other room

Basically the PL exists for the Steam Link; I had lots of issues with Wi-Fi:

  • can't get good 5 GHz signal upstairs and the compatible PL adapters are off-budget.
  • 2.4 GHz spectrum is crowded enough to get a laggy signal.

Everything else runs on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, from the modem downstairs or from one of the two PL adapters upstairs. More than enough I'd say 😛
