WiFi extends WiFi, not hard wire..
Bingo!
WI-FI wireless connectivity is REALLY good …. The current Wi-Fi range extenders simply plug into the home wall sockets and use the home electrical wiring as the cable conduits
Yeah, but home wall wiring is EXTREMELY noisy, which is the enemy of good digital sound. I went through training at Magnolia from uber geeks who really know their sh*t, and they were NOT fans of going through a home’s noisy electrical network, and that makes a lot of logical sense to me given all the other appliances, etc. that run through it. Their advice was to run wired from the router for best sound. I’m definitely gonna run a CAT8 cable with an optical conversion at some point. My main question is, would it be better to run a long CAT8 or optical fiber run? My instinct is to run optical longer as it’s more immune to infusing noise, but I don’t know and would love to hear more experienced people’s thoughts on this.
