"Wireless internet connections are convenient, but they're also notoriously unreliable. Nothing proves that point more emphatically than a glitchy video conference call, especially if it's tied to a crucial business meeting. 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."
"But setting up a full-time wired connection is easier said than done. Even if you own your own home, running 50 or 100 feet of Ethernet cable is a messy, expensive job. If you're living and working in a rented house or apartment, forget about punching holes in walls and ceilings. Also: Bad Wi-Fi at home?

Wireless internet connections are convenient but often unreliable, leading to issues like glitchy video calls during important meetings. Running a wired network connection provides faster, more reliable performance and lower latency, which benefits large file transfers, high-quality video meetings, and gaming. Installing new Ethernet cabling is messy, costly, and impractical in rentals. Existing coaxial cable used for cable-TV outlets can carry internet signals using MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) technology. MoCA 2.5 supports up to 2.5 Gbps and enables turning coax outlets into high-speed wired connections without running new Ethernet, using inexpensive adapters.
