@ImperialArmour Cat6 FTW (well if ur using Gigabit like me)
haha, they only painted half the room:P
thank you dude…
your the best tech guy ever
Can you plug powerlines into normal network switch? I saw netgear have a special powerline switch so im a bit confused.
Hey, thats my router
i’ve been on a cat5e since the big bang, and will continue to use it.

No that’s a file on the computer network, so it goes as fast as the ethernet cable allows it.
I would urge all of you to go to Youtube and do a search about powerline adapter interferance and then you can see and hear for yourself. Also if you happen to be next to somebody transmitting it will degrade your performance. Your best is a wired connection. Failing that use 802.11.
Well Brad the reason that your not hearing it is because your radio does not tune from 2 Mhz to 30 Mhz. If your refering to a standard am/fm radio they do not receive in that range. If the new Gigabit powerline devices come then you will. Not only do they mess up short wave but they mess up all the way to 300 Mhz. This includes many many services including commerical two way radio and air to ground communications. If nobody says anything then the average person has no idea.
I have had my Netgear powerline adapters working fine on power strips, however cheaper belkin ones have not worked – seems to depend on the adapter you use :)
@ve7hlo I cant say it messes up my radios.
Please do not use power line networking. It messes up the radio spectrum. If you are a shortwave listener or amatuer radio operator it then causes interferance. It can also interfere with other commercial services such as airplanes and so on. It also makes a mess of cb radio as well.
can you use powerline networking with a wireless connection

Hmm.. I read in some forum that in order to get internet through the powerline, both powerlines MUST be connected to the same electrical wiring.. You can check that by going through your circuit board/ power switch box…and looking at the diagrams… OR much easier, powering off the switches and manually testing out which power outlets are gone when powered off by the switch,,,,
gr8 . i never thought it was possible to connect to internet using the power line. amazing technology.
OK, I have , since my last comment, tried to set up my bridge. I was completely wrong before. I must have been reversing the harware or something. This time it worked right away without me having to do any adjustments to anything. Also… not only did I not plug the transmitter end into the wall directly but pluged it into a very cheap low guage exteion cord. It works fine. Maybe I have lost a little speed that way but I have no choice with the set up I have. I endorse this video and product!
I bought a Netgear wall-plugged powerline bridge. It was complicated so I went to the help forum to read post after post of the most advanced geeks who gave up setting the bridge up. That is for the Netgear XE102 to WGX102 v.2. I am going to give it another try after watching this video. wish me luck.
great non-techie review
The file was not on the internet. It was on the network going through Cat5e.
Also T3 is expensive and old technology. There are cheaper and faster modern alternatives.
Wired FTW !
lol kid i mean KIT
