    So does this act like a wireless Ethernet connection? e.g. plug one end into you existing internet source (modem router) and the other into a ethernet device (such as an internet TV)?

    I wouldn't recommend this for a bedroom. It makes a high pitched noise that is very noticeable when quiet. Or at least mine does.

      u need a noisier house. Also why dont u leave ur PC on in the bedroom? then that way the PC will be louder than the Powerline Ethernet Adapter and you wont have to worry about the buzz.

    If you've never used powerline ethernet at your house, I'd recommend actually spending extra and buying this from a shop with a good refund policy. Powerline ethernet performance is highly dependent on the quality and condition of wiring in your house. Even if you have a brand new house with new wiring, some people find that they don't work if they aren't on the same circuit.

      Totally agree good comment. I found in my place 720p streaming was possible but 1080p was never consistent or dodgy at best.

      yep… very good point.

      the power points you connect to have to be connected directly to get decent speeds. if the line goes back to the meter box and then back again to a different room in the house you will get crap speeds. in a newer house it's actually worse because the newer meters are all electronic and create a crapload of interference.

      if you arent sure on whether the power points you wish to use are on the same circuit (even if the circuits are labeled in the meter box this isnt always 100% accurate for each power point), turn off all the circuits and test them one by one.

      for instance if you want to go from the study to the living room (it may be just through one wall), turn off all circuits except the one that does the living room. turn on a lamp or something and test the power points you want to use. if the lamps lights up, you are on the same circuit and chances are pretty good that you'll get decent speeds. go around to each point with the lamp and test, noting which actual circuit they are on. the reason to do this is because even though the meter box may be labled, if a power point in another room is located on the same wall, it may very well be on the same circuit.

      sorry for the long post, but I went through all this trying to determine which power points went together to see if I could take advantage of powerline ethernet. it's easier to test at home for 5-10min than it is to drive back to shop and deal with dumbass who wont refund you (Harvey Norman are terrible for refunds).

    I have these at home and they are picky on the power point they like. Buyer Beware
