Looks like the ones Jay used are now discontinued and are the older 100 Mb ones (Homeplug , not Homeplug AV) I wonder if they introduced the enhanced security when they came out with the Homeplug AV. The newer ones would be awesome if I can get some that don’t require matching to each other

I have had better luck with the Zyxel PLA4215. I tried the Netgear unit Jay lists below, but had a harder time connecting and worse throughput. Zyxel says that the PLA4215 is a 500 Mbps adapter, but that would be over a short run, single branch with just a master and single slave...and then onl

That’s what I’m looking for, Jay. When I say “Master”, I mean the one functioning as the backhaul to my network. One master on the pole (in the case of MuniWiFi enhancement) (or in the rafters of the covered dock in a marina application) and a number of slaves on the boats or in housed, al

I’ve used the Trendnet units at home and at a couple clients. Not real impressed, but I can get connectivity in other parts of the home without expense and time of running Cat5. I don’t remember the throughput, but it was no way near specs. I had one that was also running with the dish slingsh

I'll look them up next week - yes - had as many as four connected. There was no "master" unit, it was all one big "bridge", like having them all on a switch - Original Message - From: ralph To: 'WISPA General List' Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2013 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA

In trailer parks and RV parks we use them to move bandwidth out to the far edges of the park. This helps us get past the big metal signal blocking RVs. They DO NOT work past or through a transformer. ryan On 12/28/13 6:49 AM, ralph wrote: I am writing this because I just read an old threa

Hi Ralph if you are interested in running the last mile on powerlines (because maybe you have a power company or you are doing a partnership with them) there are some vendors that could help you with the powerline modem (to put in the house) + the access part. Obviouly your problem would be to

Hi Paolo- The long runs are what generated so much interference. The new Homeplug stuff is a lot more "last mile" because of it having to be on the secondary of the final transformer. I'm not at all promoting bringing the old BPL back, but am certainly interested in using it on the secondary in

Thanks Jay. Did you ever try to get more than one remote to connect to a master without doing anything special? That’s my ultimate goal. And do you remember the model unit you used? From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of CBB - Jay Fuller Sent: Sund

Hi All the model itself was wrong in most cases I have heard about. The reality is that the power line was (is?) a good mean for the last mile and not for the long run So the reality was that for that model the company needs fiber as close as possible to the customer. The advantage is the cost
