How HideWire Actually Compares

A Comparison of the Principal Methods of Connecting a Device
	HideWire	Powerline	Ordinary Ethernet	Wireless
Latency	<1ms	2-10ms	<1ms	2-5ms
Speed	2.5Gbps on 4 ports	Avg » 250Mbps	Hardware dependent	Wifi6/7 » 400-900Mbps Wifi » ~100Mbps
Reliability	Immune to EMI/interference	Susceptible to electrical noise	Immune to EMI/interference	Susceptible to signal interference
Impact	Takes about an hour to fit. Peels off cleanly when removed, leaving zero trace	Quick to plug in, but often prone to pairing issues	Requires intrusive installation or compromising visible trunking	No setup required, but highly vulnerable to oversaturation from competing devices connecting
