I think I'm the only one who's made any commercial comment (and I did try to keep it minimal). Solwise have come up a couple of times as they are one of the main suppliers of this hardware, but as far as I know nobody here has any commercial interest in them (they're based in Hull so not local). There are differences between the manufacturers, although the standard is common between them and devices interoperate. Regardless of whether someone sources them from me, I would recommend them over the Netgear and other options. (Note that EOP isn't new; we've been using it for years and the AV standard is also some years old. I'm not sure why it has suddenly caught on with the box-shift manufacturers like Netgear jumping onto the bandwagon, I guess because the wireless standards they'd followed previously have at least as many weaknesses as strengths?) There was a good review in one of the PC rags (PC Pro?) a year or so ago which was pretty favourable of the Solwise versions for doing best outside "ideal" conditions. I think the review is available on the Solwise site. The distinction between products from different manufacturers is a valid one to make, as is the comment about "cheap imports" not meeting noise standards. If anything I said caused offence to anyone I apologise. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
