I originally bought Acer Homeplug. One of those failed after about 9 months. Eventually Acer refunded the cost of the pair as clearly it was not repairable and they ceased to make the product.

I bought a pair of Solwise Pl-14. Now one has failed after 8 months. I am hopefull of a repair/replacement but with this experience wonder whether I should seek a more reliable solution. The obvious one is that which I have in place now i.e. Cat5 cable. My wife is not too enamoured of that.

Thanks.
I was afraid you were going to say a lifetime of weeks rather than months so that makes me feel a bit better about them.
I went for the 85s as there is no way they will be used to their full potential so was hoping they would last OK.
As for the wife bit, I gotta couple of suggestions but I'll keep them to myself
Cheers
Jon
