Anybody know how reliable these are? Heard they were better than WiFi and pretty much the same as a direct Ethernet cord. --------------------  London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||

However, what I can tell you is that its essentially a "wireless" connection; noise on the line(say a fridge starting, motors, odd loads like that) may cause you problems. It may work fine, though... -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link  I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

And ya it's pretty stable, I had no trouble using it when i did. --------------------    Dragon boots:29 Whips:2 | ||

| IRC Nickname: Snowzak Group: Emeritus Posts: 1193 Member No.: 5 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 67 | Meh it seems the system I bought isn't compatible with my ISP's hardware. I'm going to be on crappy WiFi for a bit until my dad gets around to installing a 30m long Ethernet cable.  -------------------- London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||

| IRC Nickname: RobbieThe1st Group: Founder Posts: 770 Member No.: 2 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 49 | You can try setting up a router between the ISP's hardware and your comp - Plus, I thought those PLN-setups were basically just radios that used power lines over there medium, with very little on the network side of things. Also, it looks like I may end up using one of these shortly.... -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

| IRC Nickname: Snowzak Group: Emeritus Posts: 1193 Member No.: 5 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 67 | This shit works fine in most places. It basically sends waves of signal through the powerlines, and any adaptator can gather it in powerplugs... it's pretty reliable. But I tried everything (the router solution included), and from what I gather from forums only precisely the version of hardware I have isn't compatible with it... sucks. -------------------- London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||
