Network Ethernet over Mains

[contink]

Quick note of thanks for this little nugget of a thread.. I completely forgot about this technology as an option and was all set to drill walls and put in new cabling to extend existing ports ...

 

Now I just need enough power plug sockets in the right places...

There's a security issue you need to be aware of btw. If you and a neighbour have the same type of Ethernet over mains adaptors it's possible to link your houses together. So you'll want to ideally put a filter on your mains feed where it comes into your house to stop your EoM LAN 'escaping' down the street.

Not sure on the Netgear but the Devolo comes with encryption although i've not tested it really.

Netgears have encryption as well details of how to do it are on the CD with the units.

If you don't have an account we these people it's well worth getting one as they are pretty cheap on lots of stuff and nice people to deal with.
