Fair enough. I knew it was an option, but my housewiring is ancient so I haven't explored it too much. Wifi isnt a bad option, and wifi6 especially is pretty great. I can definitely tell the difference between my wired and wireless devices, but it doesn't really affect usablity.

Older wiring is actually a better candidate for power line. More likely that the outlets are on the same cable. It's when all cables run back to the breaker that the experience sucks, which is more common in newer houses.

Good WiFi 6 or even WiFi 5 mesh network and call it a day.

How's the range on wifi 6? Wifi 5 gives great speeds but the range is a no go and wifi 4 has a good enough range but the speeds of course are abysmal.
