Yes, I've tried shifting the wireles router and get no signal whatsoever and I can't run cables, so this is 'my only hope obey wan'.

OK.

This is all 85Mbps gear, which is fine for most normal uses. If you're looking to stream multiple HDTV streams, you'll need to look at stuff that complies with the homeplug AV standard.

If you have a point where you want a single RJ45 connected device,

An alternative is the Netgear XE103

If you want multiple devices attached to a single plug,
http://www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-pla-85-3e.htm (3 port)
Also consider the Netgear XE104, which is 4-port.

You can set these up to act as part of your exisitng wireless network if you have one.

A combination of the above should be able to achieve what you want. I use a pair of the 3-port solwise units, which I would choose these over option 1 anyway, 3 ports for minimal extra

upon buying and pluggin in the homeplugs remember to remove any switchable power supplies - thus eliminating time finding out why the signal is poor

switchable power supplies are usually the power supply and power socket in one, i.e mobile phone charger

these basically kill homeplugs

u have been warned

i got 2 from solwise and i get 20Mbit all day long - dont expect anything over 24 or 25 mbit using the 85 meg series powerplugs

Well, I think that's a bit strong. I would go for *some might* have an effect, though I've never seen this myself.

In my own setup, the plug is right next to the plug in power supply for my router. At the other end of the house, it's into one socket of a double, the other has a power strip with at least 2 plug in PSUs.

My connection speed? Near enough the full speed, I get about 78Mbps reported.

What does show a significant difference is surge protection - plugging into a surge protection strip lopped 20Mbps off the connection speed.

What are the 200mpbs ones like ?

Don't use them myself, but in short - the same but faster.

PC Pro Magazine have some reviews.

A good post.

Points well made and accurate.

I'm typing less and saving the planet.
