- Many homes have coax installed for cable TV. This is common in the U.S.. Since you are France, and living in a stone house, this may not apply to you.

Ok, i checked Moca and i see that its can be easier if the house is already cabled with coax for home tv, but here there is no other cable than electricity, so anyway i will need to install cables, so better to install directly ethernet i guess.

Then, where i will not get enough WIFi, i will install ethernet cables and WiFi access points where needed.
This could be a plan....
Thanks anyway for help.
