85Mbps Powerline Homplug Adapter - Twin Pack £34.99

[lloydi]

Good value these at £34.99, had a pair delivered today and work very well, no need to install just plug and play, I am running these with SKY broadband with no problems and getting a very solid connection with consistent NG speeds, much better than the shitty Belkin wireless adapter i picked up from Argos some time ago.

They also come bundled with 2x ethernet cables

I also have these and they are fantastic.... sod wireless, better speed with these and better speeds.

What i cant understand is how they work, i have one on a complete seperate ring on my house, but they are fine talking to each other.....

AMAZON HAVE THE 200MPBS ONES FOR 48 QUID, i have them and there great for networking to my dreambox, for the extra 14 quid or so id go for them ones like i did.

great items though, plug and play.

Even on seperate ring main, wether your on an old type fusebox or a modern consumer unit both of the rings you talk about oare being supplied by the same feed i.e. either the same buzz bar or from the same 100 amp supply so it just keeps feeding back down the circuit until it finds a loop thats all.
I agree tho about the 200MM ones great fr streaming HD content to my kiss box. And I paid a damn sight more than you guys for my Dlink ones about 89 quid I believe each!!! but that was when they were new technology

Thanks, but im a little confused still, for the whole idea of seperate rings is so they work indiviually, for safety. I know that they have the same feed, but thats on the other side of the fuse box, and its the trip fuse box to seperate each ring and provide a seperate source for each one.
Does this mean you are actually networking beyond your fuse box and possibly to the street? I suppose this is why they have encryption in them if thats the case.

link for amazon ones?

Also my set up is router wireless currently sat by phone socket. Imac desktop upstairs and then ps3 downstairs that i stream movies too. I also then have a macbook for wireless internet etc.

Could i purchase 3 of these items and plug one by the router and then one by my desktop and one by my ps3 and would this then give me the option of them all talking too each other? i.e steam movies between desktop and ps3 and then still using wifi for macbook as and when i want it.


Also assume this just work with OS X too?

Any ideas on my set up

Thanks

[grrrd]

Dont know about 3, i have only ever brought even numbered sets... dont see why not.
it will work with any OS, all it is really is a network port on a rather large plug, plug what you like in it.

[bcuk]

Three should be fine. I've got one next to my router and two upstairs for the kids PCs and no hassles.

so my ps3 would be able to play movies that are on my imac upstairs ?

Thanks lads , fed up with the movies stuttering lol......so is the wife which is the most important part lol

Dont Ponder too long on the mystery,they work.I have a router with 1 pc wired and a wifi laptop downstairs and and use 1 of these accross the powerline to another upsatirs,which is connected to an old cable router i had in the spares box,set it as a switch and run another 3 pc s in the top floor.
Magic bit of kit.
Top floor 1 is on 24/7 and never gets very hot.

As for the Street,it wont pass the meter,go nextdoor and try if you get on with the neighbours.

[Lighty]

All they need is one cable that has continuity throughout your wiring system, this only requires a live or neutral or even an earth, you have that in your mains feed wether your rings be on a seperate circuit or not they are all fed from the same source its as simple as that.

[TheFincher]

Just ordered the ones from Scan with free delivery, got 2 sets which is only £7 more than i nearly paid last night on ebuyer

[eblaster101]

be sure not to plug them in to a surge protector wont work or wont work as well.

What download speed do you get through these?

[lloydi]

im on sky and get a rock solid 1700k/sec from newsgroups mate, my wireless adapter would reach this speed but would drop down to 200k/sec and yo yo between the two
