There's two types using two different encodings.  Homeplugs are very good but I've got the Powerline ones as BT used to give them away for free and they had a mains socket the other side so didn't lose a mains socket.

200Mbps!

They don't like consumer units tho....  noooo:

In the UK you only have one - in Cyprus we can have two or three...

No there must be an inductive blocker in the consumer unit.  Still that helps to stop the neighbours nicking my meagre internet bandwidth and dumping dodgy video's on my PCs


And the sad thing is Growler probably thinks we are winding him up

Click the Amazon link at the bottom of the page

Search for Ethernet Mains

Loads of options will appear

Then google for Powerline or Homeplug to get explanations


But in brief instead of using wireless (which doesn't go through houses very well) these little gems send a similar (but faster signal) onto your mains wiring and it appears at every mains socket in your house.  Plug another adaptor in there and hey presto you have full ethernet data connection between the two.  Plug one end into yur fiber optic modem and your remote computer into the other one

You do have to do a bit of malarkey to get the adaptors to recognise each other, takes seconds

All sounds very very conflusterlicating for a mere Bear to understand tbqh.

If you've only got one puter and no smart TVs etc then fine

But what if the kids want to connect to interweb in their rooms?

They use their laptops and it all goes through this wireless under me desk I presume. Shrugs:

WTF's a 'Smart TV' btw? confused:
One that eradicates shite like Corry, Crap Factor, and Prancing on Ice and such other crap p'raps? cloud9:
