I have found different sources online talking about the Fast Boot option in the BIOS, some say to use it and some say to stay away. Two main questions are in my mind. 1. Would it speed up my boot any significant amount if I am already booting from an SSD? 2. Are there any concerns I should have if using Fast, or even the Ultra Fast Boot option? I assume if there were any inherent major dangers with it, I would hopefully have heard about them by now. Also, just as a note, I haven't completed this build yet. I figured getting some info prior to finishing it would be more helpful than not, thanks!

I recently just bought a powerline solution for pretty much the same thing, being that I am directly under the router but the only stairs to my floor is on the other side of the house. While yes, it is not the wired connection that everyone wants, but I am still getting 1Gbps LAN speed. Linus did a video for this one (for NCIX) and got severely degraded signal as compared to a direct ethernet connection, but I am thinking that is mostly the wiring setup of the building, as well as the size of the building he tested it in. Without an electrical routing schematic, it is hard to tell. Video shown here:

I am just gonna jump on this train and see where it takes me. I have never heard of hot swapping soldered components but hey, I like a little intrigue every now and then.
