wiring the house with eithernet cables

[Cptan]

Powerline adapter method is neat and tidy. I am using it, and find it satisfactory.

Do note

1) home/electronic appliances may affect the signal integrity. e.g. during on/off, and result in lower bandwidth. Watching a live movie on SmartTV with my notebook powered on next to the adapter affects the downloading speed...

2) make sure you are running the pair of adapters on the same single phase AC line. This is normally not an issue as most of us live in a 'small' house that is not powered by 3 phase system

3) try to plug them directly onto the wall outlet, rather than on the power extension cord

Good luck

I use them at home for connecting my Apple TV and Xbox to the internet using a wireless powerline (they are the older models that run at 85mbps) . it can be a bit slow on movie transfers back to my pc (i just tend to relocate the Apple TV upstairs when doing the copying)

cople of responses to the above:

#2) powerline adaptors won't run over different phases. i have prior experience with this, as in the past i have had to use them on larger houses that have different phases for different areas.

#3) you can use extension cords, but only if they don't have surge protections on them, as this conflicts with the operation of the units.
