Home Networking Plugs Help please

Hi, I've loosley looked at this a while back and really got bogged down in that I really don't know much about this. I'd like to buy a set (ie one plug to take a feed from my router) and the other at the other end of the house to pick up the signal and thus give me 'net access. Can anybodyt please suggest a good quality set of these that I could buy, I like to use ebuyer if this helps but happy to look elsewhere. Thanks for your help

The Devolo units are very highly rated, but I've not used them myself..

Hi.
Devolo seem to be rated well. I use solwise which are a bit cheaper and the writer of one report I read reckoned they were the same inside anyway. Although saying that I couldn't get the Devolo Linux s/ware to work on them.
Cheers

I use Devolo and they work OK.

If you know anyone with (unencrypted) home plugs try borrowing them to see if they work in situ.

If you search back through the forums you will see examples of them working over long distances.

Even if encrypted they will work; so long as you borrow a matched pair.

Simple - they work straight out of the box. 2, 3, 4,..... However many you want. Really is plug-n-play.

(and you can easily add encryption if you want to).

I think you are right, the encryption is between the units.

If you search on my username, I posted a some detail on my use of these recently.

Cheers.

Thanks I found that OK and am anxious to try this technology. Whaty I think I need are two plugs (rj45) one to to take a feed in from my router, another rj45 to take a woired connection out to my main pc and a wireless version of the homeplug to broadcast a wireless signal in a room where I use my laptop. I've looked at so many of these and given the cost, I want to make sure I order the right and matched equipment, so can someone please tell me what they suggest I should buy to work as stated above.

Thanks to all for valuable information so far, and thanks for all suggestions for the actual, kit I shoulod look at buying so it all works together.

are the main pc and the wireless "room" a long way apart ?
