Hey guys,
I'm moving into a new place with cable and sticking with Virgin Media 50MB.
My problem is that the cable inlet is downstairs and the computer would be upstairs, which is a typical situation.
In the previous house I quite happily ran an Ethernet cable up the stairs and pinned it to the skirting board.
With the new house, there are winding stairs and the PC room would be the other side of the landing, so for discussions sake, I would like to eliminate running a cable upstairs.
I have been looking into powerline adapters, but really have no clue how well they work, and what kind of drop (if any) occurs. I've done some googling for reviews, but found nothing really in depth.
Is anyone running a powerline adapter setup? If so what are your specs, i.e. net connection, socket distances and what adapters are you using.
Cheers,
Matt.
