That is way too expensive.
I got a white, flat Ethernet cable and stuck it to the bottom of the baseboard using a very thin double-sided tape. Totally invisible and super cheap.
The cable: a.co/d/09GMOz5k The tape: a.co/d/0hhCrXHP

I mean, that's why I specified only if Ethernet was not an option.

Wifi is just there as a backup. Everything is hardwired

Brother I been doing this for 30 years. One size never fits all.

And I've been doing it for over 40. WIFI may be acceptable for certain applications, but it's never the best solution.

And I’m nearby for moral support! Yay doing stuff for decades woo!

WiFi is never the best solution? Are you fucking stupid?
Davel23@fedia.io 2 weeks ago
Well, I'm not the one planning to host a server over WIFI, so...

Perfect is the enemy of good (enough).

I have a 2 story house (plus basement). I use Moca 2.5. House was built with coax to every room for cable TV. Everything that need high data use (tvs, gaming consoles, pc) gets hardwired. Everything else is on the two mesh routers.

Just remember to put a MOCA filter on the line coming into your house from the street. Otherwise you’ll be sending all your Internet traffic straight out the cable line to all of your neighbors.

That works too.
