Brother I been doing this for 30 years. One size never fits all.
Comment on Home server

And I've been doing it for over 40. WIFI may be acceptable for certain applications, but it's never the best solution.

I have a 2 story house (plus basement). I use Moca 2.5. House was built with coax to every room for cable TV. Everything that need high data use (tvs, gaming consoles, pc) gets hardwired. Everything else is on the two mesh routers.

Just remember to put a MOCA filter on the line coming into your house from the street. Otherwise you’ll be sending all your Internet traffic straight out the cable line to all of your neighbors.

That works too.
