You don’t have Ethernet over power do you?

Fun story, I live in a townhome, I had so bizarre network issues going on. Not able to stream to TV etc. finally started unplugging shit. Unplugged the router and saw the computer still happily downloading something WTF! Turns out a neighbor also has Ethernet over power and devices were randomly connecting to their network. Crazy ass shit.

I’m confused. Are you talking about power over ethernet or power-line ethernet?

There are Ethernet extenders that can utilize the power lines. They basically plug into an outlet and you stick an Ethernet into them and do the same somewhere else in the house.

Exactly, except mine was talking to the neighbors :p
