What home plugs are are modems that operate over the power lines rather than comms lines. Similar in many ways to Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology.
Since there are various standards employed in different countries both for main electricity but also electrical safety you would want to satisfy yourself that any you get from elsewhere are certified as safe for your supply. Getting it wrong may cause a fire hazard. But where they are certified they work great, I use a pair myself for exactly the same reason, cabling to downstairs is difficult. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42981 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
