Of course, wireless is more susceptible to interference, but I'm assuming good to ideal conditions here, and at those conditions I'm pretty sure any difference that isn't battery-related is purely placebo.

The vast majority of people do not live in a place with "ideal conditions". Unless you live in a suburban single house you ARE going to get 2.4GHz band contamination. Fortunately this mostly affects Wi-Fi and not your typical wireless peripheral but wireless technology is by no means perfect or even technologically mature.

Also, Power over Ethernet is a thing.

Considering you appeared baffled by the fact that you can send information and power through the same cable, I gave you a link to the relevant material. Thought you'd appreciate the info.

Go back and read what was written. You missed something.

You capitalized it, so I assumed that it was a name for a product or something like that. You don't use capitalization on power line. You do on Wi-Fi on the other hand, because it's a name of a standard.

talk about being picky...

As for your question: I'm not sure.. You can normally measure the delay in hertz, and normal power lines have 50-60hertz, while 5GHz Wi-Fi has 5,000,000,000hertz, so on updating frequency the wireless is far beyond that of the power line, but I'm not entirely sure that is all there is to the question..

you measure delay in second, not hertz. with hertz you can measure the frequency of the delay, depending on the concept. its different.

you are mixing the power phase frequency with the information frequency. by definition, information doesn't need energy to be transmited. you can use whatever frequency you want, as long as the amplitude of the signal doesn't disturb the power distribution and the equipment is fast enough to capture the signal.

Which is almost exactly what I said. Thanks for confirming my doubts.

So, do you know what kind of response time one can expect with a power line adapter compared to a 5GHz wireless network?

I don't think the technology is developed that far, as well it has been designed mainly for urban management.

I also like lots of cables.

if you are depending on a capital letter to understand a concept, i don't know why you'd mention other's way of expressing themselves.
