My house is already wired with RG for satellite feeds to multiple rooms (now disconnected). I was wondering:
1) Would there be an advantage of using these lines as opposed to using ethernet over power? I am assuming that bandwidth would be greater, but will likely be based on 2).
and
2) How would one use these lines to distribute a lan?
reply to badair Back in the day the only thing anyone used was COAX for LAN connectivity. ThinNet, ThickNet etc. Cat5 replaced it because COAX connections could be so very problematic; a problem on a single termination would flatten the entire segment... and troubleshooting was arduous.

reply to badair Might be a silly question but why MUST it be hardwired and not the much simpler cheaper secured WiFi? (Even if large enough area a repeater might be needed) --
