Hi egd,
I use devolo dlan 200av as a backbone for some parts of my network.
They ship with a software telling me how fast each adapter is running
at the moment. Maybe there is some software like that for your
homeplugs as well, so that you can see if they connect all right?
Greetings!

Teddy, thanks for reminding me about the software, I'd completely
thanks for the replies - I've just moved home and started getting
intermittent dropouts on a SB3. At my previous place I was running two
SB3s and a Transporter simultaneously via netplugs with no issues.
I swapped the unit that was losing the connection with another and the
same thing happened,
Apparently HomePlugs' performance varies greatly from home to home, and
apparently they don't work as well in North America as in Europe due to
different wiring practices (which explains why they're more expensive
and more difficult to find here).

My experience with Homeplug, even my Panasonic Homeplug AV, is that it
does not go much over 4-5 Mega Bits per second. At least in my home
electrical system they don't.
I have both Draft-N 2.0 and Homeplug AV installed at home, and neoither
deliver close to what the adverts promised. But the

Are you sure you're not confusing mega *bits* with mega *bytes* ?
Homeplug is 85 mega *bits* / second,
Just wondering whether anyone knows how much bandwidth is consumed when
streaming lossless FLAC audio to an SB3. Bascially I'm curious as to
the point at which one would saturate an 85mbps netplug's throughput
capability (all else being equal).

The FLAC itself will be ~1000 kbps, although recent FLAC versions can
make files with as little as 700 kbps. Add 250-500 kbps overhead, so
you have ~1.5 Mbps per stream maximum.
If you actually have 85 Mbps through HomePlugs, you could run 56
simultaneous FLAC streams...I'm not sure about

You can get a decent estimate pretty
