Is anyone using them ? If so do you have any feedback ?

Basically all i want to do is connect a computer to the internet thats in another room from the main computer & router. I dont want to run Cat5 & i dont want it wireless.

Do i need one of those server thingy's as well ?

The newer 200neg (in reality 80+/-) are pretty good.

As above, don't look at less than 200 (unless you want to buy my 85s )

If all you're doing is connecting your computer to your broadband router then a bog standard 85Mbps pair of homeplugs is fine. Your broadband is probably only coming in at 8Mbps or less ?

Hank loves homeplugs. He'd always recommend them above wireless.

Arent the zyxel ones pretty good ?

IIRC the Devolo ones are the ones to go for. Dont quote on that though

I've used Netgear and DeVolo and both are fine.

Absolutely brilliant at what they do but not fast enough for me...

I've got 85 meg devolos, 45 quid and they're yours.

I've got a Netgear WGXB120 powerline wireless range extender - brilliant. dead easy to set up and the xbox360 links to it and runs a treat (the other end is hard wired into a BT Home hub - which doesn't have the strength to get to the other end of the house)

I've been using Solwise HomePlugs (85) for over a year now with no problems. My Internet connection is 3Mbps so don't need the faster 200s.

They can be used in a multi-socket extension lead but with one or at most two other devices sharing the lead.

My router is upstairs on one, and I have 3 PCs downstairs each on a Solwise plug. I also have a media disk on one.
