Anyone know anything about powerline adapters?
My broadband supplier is giving me, for free, a TV box which can be used for recording etc. There is also the ability to connect to the router for extra services but these will only work wirelessly if the router is less than 3 metres from the TV and mine is about 10 metres away. They have suggested that I can get round this by using Powerline adapters which send the signal through the mains circuit and this will avoid having cables all over the place.
I have looked on the net and it seems there are two types - 200mbps and 500mbps. Broadband speeds are considerably less than either of these figures and I wonder if there would be much difference in performance between them.
Can anyone offer any advice on this? Thanks.
