That should not work on a good UPS (which would be the on-line type).

If you're in the US, I have one suggestion before you toss the powerline

The multiple phase thing is for most homes in the developed countries

Comments on this topic within the last few months suggested that one

connections there would less frequently
Thanks DeVerm. I redid the setup and connected to the powerline adapter.
Worked great for a few minutes then lots of drops. A network test showed
a steady 100% bar, suddenly a quick and brief drop to zero. This pattern
persisted and I could not get a reliable signal, so the powerlines go
back

Whilst I don't use powerline, I have not too long ago just finished CAT

PS Wireless did work for me, but I now have oodles of bandwidth in
comparison and its _totally_ secure.

Wireless most certainly works. You may of had some interference or
something but it indeed works. My daughters runs fine.

The 14mb adapters were brilliant to
I'm using some rebranded boxes (Dabs value) with my SB3 that had

worried.

I've been using (4) Netgear XE-102 units for several years with zero

allowed me to buy the $50 cheaper wired-only Squeezeboxes (now no
