Why not use mesh network such as google or eero? Is there evidence that a hard wired long run connection sounds better than a short run of better quality Ethernet cable from a mesh node? Just curious…I’ve been running Eero for few years now but never tried a hard wired long run. In my mind it makes no sense over the mesh network if you can isolate the mesh node far away from components to not be an impact from RFI and EMI perspective.
Ethernet Wiring
I prefer to use a hard connection as opposed to using Wi-Fi. Our basement is finished off, so my only access point requires me to run the Ethernet cable through approximately 25' of HVAC ducts. Is this okay? The cable would be inserted into the duct about 15' away from the furnace plenum. Thank you.
