Alternative network options for HDHomeRun

Using a wifi-to-ethernet bridge. If you are using a “Mesh network” and have multiple mesh nodes, this is the easiest option, as you would just need to locate or place a node near the HDHomeRun unit. If you are not using a mesh network/router system, a wireless bridge or “wifi extender” that has a bridge mode would may also work, as long as it can handle the bandwidth of multiple over-the-air video streams.

NOTE: OTA can often be more demanding than normal internet streaming services, especially for ATSC 1.0, which was a standard created in the 1990s.

EXAMPLE TO BE ADDED

If you have coaxial cable ran through your home, such as from a cable TV system, it is possible to use that with “MOCA” adapters to make an internet connection.

A pair of “powerline adapters”. Basically you have two boxes that plug into power outlets, and each box has an ethernet port, and they use the home's electrical wiring to communicate between the two boxes.

This option is typically used for a direct connection, rather than sharing to the whole network, but that is possible with some extra steps.
