It all adds up when you also have TV senders ....
.... and remote control senders
.... .... for PVR digiboxes
.... .... and for light dimmers
.... and everyone in the house has at least one mobile phone
.... and the odd Xbox360

And heaven knows what the neighbour has. (he has something 'cos it messes up my PVR receiver )


Edit: Sorry - forgot to mention the four Devolo units

If you are worried by wireless networking, then you should also be worried about mains networking. Most of us aren't.

aren't the remotes sending infra red light rather than RF ?

Usually the plugs are rated higher than ADSL (certainly in my case) so the ADSL link is the speed limiter (apart from when you use them to transfer data within your local network).

They degrade in speed over distance/noise. Not an issue in my house.

All the plugs I'm aware of allow you to add encryption.

The signal is meant to be effectively terminated at the main meter (by attenuation). I have not gone to the trouble of asking to plug in next door to check.

See http://www.devolo.co.uk/uk_EN/button/dlanfaq.html

But ... infra red light is still Electro Magnetic !!!RADIATION!!!

Tinfoil hats would still be required.

IR is in a completely different part of the EM Spectrum.

Most, Yes.

But one is sending RF so I can use it in another room (needs a receiver in the room with the PVR)
