backhaul: 10/100 CAT5 ethernet vs Powerline adapter
I'm new to mesh networking. My new Deco x55 setup is working pretty well, but I'm looking to maximize it. My fiber ISP speed is 250Mbs. I have CAT5 wiring in place and hooked it up for backhaul hoping that would give me better performance than using WiFi backhaul, but it is actually slower than when using WiFi backhaul. I'm getting close to 250 Mbs download using WiFI backhaul but it chokes down to about 120 using CAT5 backhaul. Can I do better using a powerline adapter for wired backhaul instead? Wiring in my house is all 12 ga romex installed within the last 25 years.
