Setup your home using powerline or WiFi, avoid relying on cables.
TL;DR: The main point is choosing between WiFi and a Powerline adapter now. Since running a wire through walls and door frames isn’t feasible due to space and rental restrictions, I’m weighing options. I’ve used a basic Powerline kit before—it didn’t perform well, with noticeable jitter and slow speeds even when fiber was available. Right now, I’m unsure which is better; I’m considering a strong Wi-Fi 6 AP for my PC or a high-end Powerline solution. Also, being in the EU might affect compatibility.
Typically, a strong Wi-Fi connection beats power line setups. Keep in mind that Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 operate on the 6GHz frequency and struggle to pass through walls. You might not achieve a solid signal if there are thick barriers between your device and access points.
