Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

      I don’t see anything wrong with Power over Ethernet, as long as it follows the standards.

      So - PoE = bad? Otherwise not sure what real-world scenario your second case covers?

        To be fair, there are some less-than-optimal PoE implementations like “passive PoE”. I’ve heard stories where the wrong PoE mode destroyed network gear.
