Subject: Powerline Networking

Just wondering if anyone else has used powerline networking. It is easy to set up and works very well, IMHO.

And no, I don't get a percentage for pimping it. ;)

While you're pimping your product, give us some links or something... :)

I think I looked into something like this before for setting up a phone in one of my rooms without a phone outlet. (Ofcourse, it was my computer room...doh...you'd think I'd have thought of that when I had the place built!)

LOL! I use all Linksys products. Wired Cable Router, 2 Instant PowerLine Etherfast 10/100 Bridges, and 1 Instant PowerLine USB Adapter (which could have been ethernet, but hey, it's all good). Puters in 3 rooms of the house, all on different levels.

Fast, secure, and easy.

I don't even have a cable outlet in here! It's a splitter with a LOOOOOONG cord coming from the living room.

Yeah, I'm connected wireless because I don't have a cable outlet in here (or a phone outlet for that matter..). So my Playstation is actually wired to the router and my desktop computer is wireless.

My Playstation is hard wired to my Router because they are both in my basement. Then I have the powerline for the 3 computers (along with my cable modem), so my network is actually a combo wired/powerline.
