"The answer is to run a wired network connection to your home office. Wi-Fi is great for mobility, but a wired connection offers many advantages when it comes to working from home. It's faster and more reliable, with lower latency, all of which matters if you regularly share large files, participate in high-quality video meetings, or even (ahem) play games."
"Fortunately, there's a solution, as I discovered a few years ago when I moved to a loft-style condo. My router was in the living room, serving up gigabit downloads. My office was at the other end of the house, with Wi-Fi signals that were depressingly weak, thanks to brick walls. I didn't have Ethernet jacks anywhere in my home, but every room had cable outlets. That's what unlocked the solution to my bandwidth dilemma."
Wireless internet connections are convenient but often unreliable for work and streaming, especially during video conferences. A wired network connection delivers faster throughput, lower latency, and greater reliability for large file transfers, high-quality video meetings, and gaming. Installing new Ethernet cabling can be expensive, messy, and impractical in rented or finished spaces. Coaxial cable outlets installed for television can carry internet signals using MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) technology. MoCA adapters enable existing coax wiring to provide high-speed wired links without drilling, and MoCA 2.5 supports speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, offering a low-cost alternative to running Ethernet.
