The point about wired ethernet is that it's carried via a medium that's completely under your control and is therefore immune to interference from third parties. Homeplug uses a shared carrier - the mains wiring. If a neighbour whose home is on the same phase as yours fires up something that injects loads of noise back into the mains (an arc welder, for example), then your Homeplug packets may possibly get trashed. (I don't know what happens if a neighbour on the same phase also has a Homeplug network - do his packets get back out past his meter and compete for the bandwidth you're trying to use?) Therefore, in terms of potential for dropouts I'd say Homeplug, while certainly less vulnerable, is more akin to wireless. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31930 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
