Another clean option is MOCA, if your house has existing coax runs. It has the nice benefit of not needing to be 1:1. You can have 3 MOCA devices on three floors that all communicate directly with each other, instead of needing a core switch.
$100 to connect 2 drops. Plug it in and it works.

- greggyb 4y agoFor home use, this is likely to be fine. MOCA operates as a broadcast network, though, so all bandwidth is shared among all connected nodes. The performance characteristics are closer to an old hub than to a switched network.
- basch 4y agobut its 2.5Gb. Each ethernet port is only 1Gb. You'd need have what, three pairs, all simultaneously trying to transfer their nearly their full 1Gb to saturate 2.5Gb. If you have 5 or less, it shouldn't be an issue. But yes, it would not necessarily work great in something in like an apartment.
- greggyb 4y agoEthernet (at least oveR twisted pairs) is a full duplex transmission medium, so two devices should be able to more than saturate the MOCA broadcast network. Additionally, >1Gbps is starting to become common on consumer hardware. Again, it is probably not going to be a concern for most home networks, and MOCA should still be better than mesh networks or powerline ethernet.
