Extended cabling question

[SimpleSi]

Yes - Sorry - obviously interference from other devices would be an issue :oops:

I used powerline sockets recently to hook up my XBox 360 (it was the same price as the xbox wireless adaptor and much more versatile).

 

I bought the cheapest netgear ones on Ebuyer that had a good rating and so far they seem ok. Speed is fine for streaming video etc and works between floors in my house - more expensive than running extra cables though.

Just a quick thought, but where about on the line and line extensions have you positioned the ADSL micro filter?

I googled this diagram which might help with the ASDL filter setup.

Hi why make life expensive/complicated? Nip in to Woolies or similar you can get phone extension kits that run very low profile cable and use RJ-11 plugs (with adapters 4 BT phone). Then run RJ-11's from adsl filter to router and bingo. Used this at home and other sites with 20mtr cable no probs. Crosstalk etc can be an issue as can signal loss but unless you can close out your cordless phone, nextdoors WLAN etc dont worry about it until it happens. Loss of bband speed- dont think the last 60' makes the big difference, you never know what your getting to the front door. Have fun

To see for yourself if a long phone extension causes any problems; compare the noise margin, attenuation and connection speed figures while connected directly at the master socket to the figures when connected on your mile-long extension through the house.
