A discussion on reducing Wi-Fi exposure leads to a recommendation for HomePlug powerline networking, which uses a house's electrical wiring to transmit data. One host describes running two separate sub-networks for different ISPs over the same power lines. They note the benefits for streaming video on devices like Roku while acknowledging potential interference with ham radio equipment.
Home Networking, Cat6 Cabling and Wi-Fi Reliability
The discussion covers internal home wiring, with Dane Jasper recommending Cat5e or Cat6 for most gigabit needs. He notes that while many consumers are moving toward unwired Wi-Fi setups for convenience, hard-wiring stationary devices like Rokus and desktop computers remains the most reliable option. Jasper suggests using wired access points to provide a stronger foundation for a home's wireless coverage.
