Pods with Ethernet

Hi

I have 1gb from the hub 5, but was wondering if I can run an Ethernet cable from hub in front room then upto the loft where I want the pod.

Is that a good way of going ?

AFAIR the Pods do not use Ethernet but communicate via WiFi. You would be better off using an old Router as a WiFi access point. That way you will get WiFi and a couple of Ethernet ports as well.

If you have the pods that look like Mini Hub 5s then that would work just fine. I have my pods wired back to my router so I get full speed and low ping from all my pods
