Gin,

I have been using powerline adapters for about 3 years now and they are indeed a good way to run a network throughout the home without the need for cabling. Although I have a Wifi router there are some rooms in the house where the Wifi signal being received is too weak to ensure uninterrupted continuous connection.

Just one snag with your plan however. With just 2 adapters you can only use the house electrical circuit to transmit the internet to one remote device such as a computer, Xbox ect. One of your adapters (The transmitter) is connected by network cable to your router and then plugged into a power socket close to the router. The second adapter (A receiver) is then plugged into a power socket close to your second device and a network cable connects that adapter to the device. That is why what you have purchased is called a starter kit.

If you wish to connect more devices to your network you need to purchase additional adapters + cables and use them as additional receivers, plugging them into power sockets close to the additional devices and connecting them to the device by network cable.

For example at home we currently have a setup using 5 adapters. The transmitter adapter which is in the hall by the router. One adapter is in my study for my computer, another adapter is in the spare bedroom where Mrs J has her computer and 2 adaptors are in our sons bedroom, one for his computer and the other for his Xbox.

The adapters I use have a transfer rate of 200bps (The ones you have ordered, a faster 500bps transfer rate) which is adequate for our needs as all of us can be using the internet on our computers at the same time without any drop-out problems.

Isn't modern technology wonderful. :-D

Left the coffee flask and bacon sarnie at home by accident but a grateful patient gave us a £20.00 tip specifically for lunch as we spent ages with her OH. I will remember next week though. :-D

If you have WIFI you dont need a cable....but

.........when you have seven different IT/internet gadgets in the house, some WIFI friendly, some not, then the 'plug' enables all of them to work at the same speed and without a direct connection

For us, its perfect as we have two desktops, three laptops, ipad and xbox

I just plug my laptop in where I feel like it in my house or either of my daughters and it works fine.. I have wireless internet... works wherever...

This means Dea that I don't need a 700 kms of cable between Auckland and Wellington traipsing down the North Island...

Yes I can keep my bathroom clean,,, just wish I didn't have to spend so long doing it...

And I lost 500gms since yesterday...

LK ... the paper and plastic bags for the takeaways are in the cupboard to the right of the hidey hole...

Doesn't she know these things!! :-0

Sorry Perse, didn't see you there.


I'm fortunate in that I don't have an overlap on my shower door...

I supposed it depends how tight the overlap is.....

could you clean between them with a thin cloth covered knife??

Spray through the overlap?



Ironing done. :-D


Quiet evening hopefully.


No desk tomorrow......there is a virus at the hospital and all visitors are barred. I could go in but am reluctant to risk it because of OH - don't want him catching summat 'orrible!!


Where's everyone gorn

Oooh, you lot not been around since this morning then

I didnt know about these until today. The plugs connect you to the internet anywhere in the house, through your router. Ive got two coming tomorrow, one for the PC in the office and one for No2 sons XBox

Had a long chat to the IT geezer and they are the dogs wotsits by the sound of things

Also if you have a smart phone, you can link it to your laptop/desk top and any other internet needy product and run broadband on said items through your phone.......no need for a seperate ISP or bills

Cyns top tip on cleaning and keeping clean the tile and glass in the bathroom

Spray watered down bleach regularly onto the surfaces. About 2 parts bleach to 8 parts water

Works a treat, I have no mould or mildew in my bathroom
