Ethernet over power?
Discussion
Any recommendations for hi-speed adaptors/deals on at the mo?
Wireless performance in my house is a bit patchy, so I thought I'd give EoP a go.

Yes it is 100% stable, well 99.99% i'm sure. I personally have never had any problems. As for transfer speeds that depends on a lot of things, mainly the speed of the conector 85 or 200mbps. The state of your wiring in the house also has a bearing too. I use my 200mbps one at home through a consumer unit to the extension, probably about 15m physical distance, and I am getting about 25-40mbps. My wireless was giving me 0.5mbps and dropping every 2 minutes. At work we are getting about 40-50mbps over older wiring but much shorter distances, same room or next door.
Got to remember it is much more expensive then wireless, about £50 per adapter.

I have the Netgear 200mbps units and whilst they represent a means to an end and seem to be more stable than wireless links, they still only operate at something like 10-20Mbps in terms of real-world file transfer performance. This is in a very modern house with new wiring, performance doesn't seem any better than in my last victorian house with ancient wiring.

They're alright in a pinch.
Very much depend on the quality of the wiring in the house though.
If the house has multiple consumer units or has been extended many times over many years there is a chance they wont work at all. If the wiring is old it can substantially affect throughput.
Keep the reciept!

Well, I've got 4 of the plug-in Solvwise adaptors coming. I'll let you know how I get on!
The wireless bandwidth around my house has got increasingly busy in recent months (thanks BT Home Hubs!) so it's time to give EoP a go. It's been playing merry hell with lag whilst playing COD4 recently
