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

Thanks for the suggestions. I will give the Linksys a try. I had a read
of the specs on the repeater function and is appears to effectively
share the wifi bandwidth between incoming (devices to 2nd router) and
outgoing (2nd router to original router) which results in lower
bandwidth. So, although
It's a little complicated as there actually -is- firmware available for
the non-L version 5 and upwards - but I don't know if it includes the
repeater code, and it's probably not worth $10 to figure that out.
Also, if you can find an older WRT54G (model 4 or earlier), the
firmware will be fully fu

Yes, I recommend it as well.
Please note that the model ends in "GL" with the "L" part being
critical. Linksys has two nearly identical models, the
WRT54G and WRT54GL. You want the "GL" model to be able to do g
If you decide to use a repeater, have a look at the Linksys WRT54GL.
There's open firmware for it that lets you put it in repeater mode, and
lets you adjust a number of other things (like which antenna is used for
what function, and radio power).
They were about $50 the last time I looked, the ope

On the other hand, since the SBR in the kitchen cupboard is going to be

to eliminate all potential network problems and just enjoy the music.

The home plug is a good idea instead of running cat5. Try and make sure
that you get one that supports 100Mbps in both directions, these are
sometimes labled as 200Mbps. The may cost a little more but will help
reduce throughput problems especially if the mains is a little noisy. I
think it has al

Mine work great - but they don't like some circuit breakers or RCD's.
This isn't a problem for most people though. Worth a shot I'd s

wired is certainly more reliable wireless and if its convenient, the way
to go.
as for wireless, i've found sb to be fairly consistent with it 99% of
the time.
if you are going to use repeaters, you have to make sure they are set
correctly. commonly, people just plug them in and go. a big mistake!
Hi,
I've found that wireless in my ktchen isn't reliable enough for an SB3.
I think it is due to all the metalwear about including copper water
pipes, and a refridgerator. I've tried a wireless extender and that
also doesn't work with the SB3 as it struggles to pickup an address.
I've stayed with
I'm thinking about enhancing my network and my SB is a key
