ethernet from a power outlet


Amazon has a number of devices which allow for Ethernet connectivity thru a power outlet.  How do these compare with a plain Ethernet jack?  I want to do some hi quality streaming but I do not have a jack near my stereo system and I'm told that WiFi is not as good sonically as having a hard connection.

WiFi is better than nothing, and if you find an unused channel and good signal strength really good.


Networking over power is no panacea. Distance issues, noise and interference can all occur, plus you are putting digital noise directly into your power. Now that's more noise you have to filter out. 

Your best bet will still be hard Ethernet cables to ensure the best streaming experience. 

Route any network cables away from your interconnects and power if you can.
