This is one of the least talked-about things in tech... Probably because for most people, internet connectivity isn't a problem. 802.11n is pretty amazing. But it sucks for larger houses or those with a lot of walls. Like where I moved recently.
Luckily after some research, I think we found our solution. Powerline adapters! Whereas 802.11n will get severely limited by walls and distance, powerline stuff seems to hold pretty steady even at long distances.
Someone even did full benchmarks on it.
Technology marches on steadily, and I am heartened. Ten years ago this tech was pretty worthless. Now it looks like a real viable option.
