Let me explain my network setup I have:
I have my main PC up stares, one in the front room with my ADSL router and my server in the garage.
I cannot hard wire any of these together so I have 3 wireless routers forming wireless bridges. One bridge is up stares to down stares and from from down stares to the garage.
I'm using wireless bridges because I can stop wireless clients from logging onto them making it a bit more secure.
The problem is that if I want to copy files to my server from my main PC I have to go over 2 wireless connections and I want something faster.
This is why I was thinking about using 200Mbits/s powerline...
1. How reliable is powerline
2. If you have 3 powerline adapters do you have to setup bridged connections between 2 pairs or can each communicate to each other just like they were a single switch?
3. How secure is Powerline?
Thanks
