Opps, need to make another correction. Apparently, it is 3 ring, not 3 phase!?

How does this effect things?

JFDI, you could have it installed by now !

The ring mains sounds more credible, they all connect at the same place and will probably work. Cat 5 is simpler

What does JFDI mean?

It's not if you've seen the house it's going in and the coverage required!

JFDI = Just .. Do It

you only have to cable up to the repeaters, 100m of ethernet cable goes further inside buildings than the wireless signal does.

That's nice then isn't it

I don't have money and time to waste trying things out, especially if there's community forums like this full of people that have potentially used them and the experience...

Interesting approach to help.

Do you know the environment of the install? No. So how can you comment that using cable is 'easier'!?

Don't you think I'd thought of that first. It's simply not an option.

Thanks for the 'jfdi' comment by the way

Cable is always easier to manage and use than wireless. May be a bit of effort to pull it in especially if the foresight was lacking to use conduits but once there you can forget about it.

I agree, cable is easier and I have it here in my house, however, due to logistics, the size of the house and the locations that need to be covered, wireless and cable isn't a viable option.

I'm now looking to get 4 dLAN adaptors and 1 wireless repeater (already owned) on the end of one of the dLAN's.

Just deciding on which dLAN adaptor now, as everyone seems to be making them now!? Price isn't really an issue, it's more a case of quality, reliability. Devolo seem good, but then there's the usual suspects such as D-Link, Netgear etc?

the best form of advice may not be what you want to hear. In the time you've been pontificating you could have bought a pair, tried them out and returned them if they didn't work. Our opinions, based on no knowledge of the layout, are worth about what you pay for them

It's often quicker and easier just to give it a try, put a router on one end of a homeplug set and go to the other and determine the packet loss over a few minutes.
