It’s a 1970s building - cat-5 wasn’t installed with the original wiring and mains homeplug networking is tricky on this wiring layout. The growing number of people with WiFi and video senders on my hillside seems to be causing more interference and slow-downs, so it seemed worth installing a wired connection while the floors were up.

I'm going to rewrite it soon with a new analogy that i've found. One should always use only channel 1, 6, or 11. Period. Think of these like measurements along the width of a highway. one should pick a lane with the most distance between cars ahead and behind you (whichever channel has the weakest competitor from your location). When people use channels 2-5, 7-11, it is the same as trying to squeeze between cars in a 3-lane highway. If these were cars, there would be a massive wreck. Since these are wifi packets, there is terminal corruption and all packets need to be resent instead. http://elfonblog.fondoo.net/?p=13
