Question for the IT guys, isn't a mesh network supported by nodes in a hierarchy with each node connected by WIFI? So if you Ethernet cable to a node, you are still ultimately using an RF signal (WIFI) rather than a direct Ethernet connection to your cable modem, is that correct?
Home network router question
Hi,
A network question from an analogue brain.
Our internet provider recently transitioned to a system of hardwired modems with various pods ( Plume ) for the routers. There is one Plume/router which is hardwired to the modem and the rest are plugged into wall outlets. Unfortunately, the modem is in the built in stereo cabinet- which is less than optimal. I want to move the modem and "main pod" to another location away from the cabinet. Three questions:
1. Is running an ethernet wire from my streamer/DAC to the main pod equivalent to direct wiring to the old stand alone modem/router?
2. If I move the modem and main pod; can I run a cable from the main pod to an ethernet port ( to be installed ) in the cabinet and plug in my streamer? Will this be nearly equivalent to hard wiring into my old modem/router?
Any thoughts? Please remember when replying that I am an analogue guy trying to navigate the digital world with as little pain as possible.
PS I don't want to connect via wifi.
Thanks
