Replace ethernet cables with POF backbone on home Powerline ? by x13
John, I was being myopic in my last post. My idea was just to speed things up. But of course by using a POF cable I would be bypassing the electrical wiring in the walls thereby defeating the whole purpose of Powerline. I could of course run a POF cable in the walls but that's a *really* tedious...
