RE: Powerline Ethernet

[Andrew Jackson <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm using a pair of those home plugs taking network from downstairs where
my HTPC and modem are, to my PC, server and wireless AP upstair. I've not
had any issues at all. There is a button on the bottom of each to pair
them. Plug them in, press the buttons and plug in the Ethernet cables.
Haven't had a problem since.

The layout of the network means that all Internet access to my PC, server
and wireless devices must go through the home plugs. On top of that, all
media streamed from the server to the HTPC goes through the home plugs.

One  is upstairs at the back of the house, the other is downstairs at the
front, so they couldn't be further apart.

I've can stream 1080p video down to the HTPC and haven't noticed a single
problem.

Andrew

Hi all,

Anyone using powerline Ethernet devices?

I have a unit in the kitchen I want to connect to the network but I don't
want to and can't run cables to. Apartment with concrete walls.

I was looking at the TP-Link TL-PA211 starter kit and thinking this might
be
a good way to get it working.

Anyone got any experience of these devices and what sort of issues have you
had? I am not looking at transferring lots of data, just use it for HA
interface etc.

Cheers

Dave.
