Spec me a homeplug.

[lolage]

I need two, one to go onto the back of the main computer (with the router) and another to go onto my computer in my room.

What type of thing would you recommend?

Budget is around £80. Thanks.

Depends what you plan to use the connection for.. You could either go for 2*85mb homeplugs for around £50, or 2*200mb for around £120.. I've got the devolo 200mb ones and they are fine - however it will cost me a lot to add another machine on to the network - not so if I had the 85mb version.

If all you need is streaming stuff and the occasional file transfer I'd probably go for the 85mb version.

How can i find out how fast our connection is to see if i need 85mb or 200mb?

Il be using it for gaming mostly.

Search for eConnect homeplug, they are about £22 each, much cheaper if you buy 4 or 5, ive been installing them for loads of my customers and they are some of the best 85meg homeplugs ive used, im amazed more people dont stock em, failing that MSI do a good twin pack for under £50 which is great. you dont need to spend 80 on 2 plugs, in fact you might get 2 x eConnect 200mb ones for that but ive not used them so its your call

Thanks, il look into eConnect.. Anybody else say anything about the econnect ones?


I will be plugging it into the back of a 54mps cable/dsl netgear router.

I will be plugging it into the back of a 54mps cable/dsl netgear router. So would the best bet to be to get a 85mps one?

Also i heard it only works with ADSL routers not cable?

The devalo ones are double the price though. =[

Dont really want it for tranfering files.

Can somone just verify with me that i can use a homeplug even though my router is cable router not adsl?
