  Please forgive the blatant OT – ethernet over powerlines

  Posted by Jeremy Garchow on September 13, 2012 at 6:02 am

  Hi.

  I am looking to extend an internet only network. Wireless is increasingly unreliable.

  This has noting to do with a SAN, I just know there are some decent networkers here.

  Does anyone have any experience with extending a network over power lines with something cheap like a ZyXEL Kit? They even have whopping 500Mb ones now.

  Ooo, fancy.

  Again, apologies for the OT.

  Jeremy

  I use a netgear xav1004 for my Xbox, big screen and Blu-ray player. Online multiplayer gaming seems better than wifi and Netflix is definitely better. That’s the extent of my use with Ethernet over power. Plugged it in, seemed better, cool. FWIW

  That sounds like exactly what I need.

  Cheers,
