One for my daughter bedroom pc and one for my computer room pc. That's why I purchased two powerplug support 500Mbps link speed (gigabit lan) We both rather to have wired lan. But can use tablet, mobile phone for wifi.

I have now set up TBB BQM: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/921644d571c...

How far would you say you are from your cabinet to get those speeds?

Engineer say within 200m away

But you will not get 2x500Mbps. The two will interfere with each other - just one at the switch would have been adequate.

Agreed

Thanks for advise. I will buy new ethernet cable (25 metre) and hook up the wall up to her bedroom. Then, I will take one homeplug removed from socket.

No,

Have 1 plug next your router as you do now, One in your room and one in hers.

I think you don't understand...

You have one HomePlug at the router, and each room can then have its own homeplug, so long as you remember to associate them together i.e. press their security button as per instructions.

Do the lines automatically start in FAST mode?

Yes.

On FTTC, the line is in a mode that lets it go as fast as it can, without FEC or interleaving.

Unless it sees severe instability, DLM will leave you alone on the day of install, and the day afterwards. If it decides it is going to intervene, it will normally do so on the day after that (ie 2nd day after the install), between 1am and 7am usually.

If DLM intervenes, it might have to tune the setting it chooses on subsequent days.

So it is always good to try to get the IP profile value out of BT's speed tester during the first day or two, before DLM intervention, and again on the days after that.

Example:
On my first install at our old house, the initial install gave full sync speed, but 3-4% packet loss; DLM intervened (adding FEC + interleaving) after close to 48 hours. It dropped speed by about 3Mbps, but fixed the packet loss. This was then repeated a few days later, when my line was regraded from a 2Mbps upstream to 10Mbps upstream, and DLM was reset.

Ok, I will take one homeplug off the router and put in my daughter bedroom. Yes, I will press button security.

Thanks MrSaffron.
