    @HighTechCentral - I think you've mixed up your description of the product with the older version. You're quoting the specs of the TL-PA101 where you're really selling the TL-PA201. The 101 only has 85Mbps, the 201 has 200Mbps.

      @glenr Thank you for that.
      Sorry guys…. information has been updated. This is a twin pack kit and 200mbps.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2009 - 11:40

        It's the sellers websites fault; they are selling the TL-PA201 product but their blurb relates to the older, slower TL-PA101. The box shows the TL-PA201, and as the older model is now superceded, the item would most definitely be the newer TL-PA201.

  • dragonrabit on 19/11/2009 - 11:33

    if we got wireless technology, why we need this products?

    any one can asnwer my question?

    • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2009 - 11:37

      Wireless signal transmission is hopeless through thick concrete, double brick, and silver-paper wall insulation. Ethernet-over-power doesn't have these issues.

    • Store RepHighTechCentral @ HighTechCentral.com.au on 19/11/2009 - 11:45

      You will have more solid and stable connection than wireless, especially if you live in a double storey houses / units.

      Other good points of ethernet over power bridges
      -Zero configuration. Just connect cables and you're done. All products should work like this.
      -Harder for hackers to tap your network.
      -Smug feeling in five years when researchers announce that wifi radiation causes cancer / withers your old feller.

      But
      -they don't work on "surge protected" power boards. The surge-filtering circuits tend to filter the data signal.

      @dragonrabit as an example I currently have a 20 Metre cat5 cable from the downstairs of my house that goes up the stairs connecting to the ADSL2+ modem to a wireless router upstairs, since the signal from downstairs doesn't cover the whole upstairs area fully. I could make a wireless bridge from downstairs to the wireless router upstairs but then this would half the throughput for all the wireless devices.

      So I could use the ethernet over power plugs to replace the 20 metre cable I have (I am renting so I can't start properly cabling the house).

      You can also use this to connect devices that have only ethernet ports such as old computers or game consoles and digital media players.

      Some things you should consider before getting any of these Ethernet over Power adapters:

      • It may screw up your alarm system if you have one.
      • It will not work if the power points you are connecting them to are not on the same circuit.

      You might want to test by getting a pair from DSE since that have a good change of mind refund policy, double check with the manager when you buy though.

  • CereaL on 19/11/2009 - 12:07

    Has anyone used something similar to this before?

    I've heard these sort of devices interfere with other devices in your house?

    I'm just trying to sus out alternatives to upgrading existing wireless routers / cards and to running a cable through the ceiling / under the house.

    • ESEMCE on 19/11/2009 - 12:24

      See ranetts post above.
      EoP used to cause issues, but I think the technology has progressed to be reliable and unintrusive.

      Be aware that EoP never actually achieves its maximum, so the 200Mbps rating might actually get you an 80Mbps connection..

      If you can run your own network cable (it is illegal to run network cable if you're not licenced incidentally*) then do so, as it will be more stable and in the future will be able to support a gigabit connection when all equipment is gigabit capable.

      Wireless is annoying to set up and is most sensitive to interference, don't use it unless you need mobility.

      (* It is my understanding that it is questionably legal to network your house with pre-made "patch" cable, it is definitely completely illegal to run cable and terminate it to wall sockets yourself. I do not support the law, I think it's silly)

      I use a mix of Cat-5e/6, multiple Wireless AP, and a pair of the Netgear EOP 200mbps adapters(after returning another brand that just did not work reliably) and have a couple of points:
      1) Use Cat-5e/6 where you can - nothing beats the reliability and throughput of blue string
      2) EOP is a good option where (like me):
      - you can not run Cat-5
      - wireless provides average coverage
      - If you get sustained throughput of 50 m/bits/s you are doing well
      - Best throughput is when you are on the same circuit (try various power points as the speed changes dramatically!)
      - Your alarm may not like it very much initially (I had it go off on the first install but OK since then)
      - Use one brand / type / speed for all your EOP adapters
      3) Use Cat-5e/6 where you can

      I actually use mine to connect the two Wireless AP / switches in two part of the house. Overall it has been providing a solid stable link and while I can not speak for the brand being offered some are not worth the money.

      • ESEMCE on 19/11/2009 - 12:52

        TP-Link is a reputable brand right up there with NetGear..

    • anthony on 19/11/2009 - 13:37

      These only work if both power points are on the same circuit.
      If they are not then these devices are of no use.

      I have never used these however i have heard that they run hot (no paticular brand) which means they are wasting alot of electricity in the form of heat.

        These only work if both power points are on the same circuit.

        That's not necessarily correct.
        What is important is that the units are connected to circuits on the same phase.
        Many/most homes/units are single-phase wired.
        If your home is three-phase, then as long as the power outlets are on circuit/s of the same phase, it won't present a problem.

        • anthony on 20/11/2009 - 13:27

          Thanks for the correction.

          Out of curiosity would that mean if my neighbour was on the same phase as me and there was no step down transformer between our houses you could use them to create a network between the houses?
          Assuming the devices could push a strong enough signal through all the power cable

          • TeaEarlGreyHot on 20/11/2009 - 14:40

            @anthony: I'd wondered similarly myself in the past anthony.
            I'm only guessing, but unless there's filtering at the houses' meter/switch boards (eg. the off-peak switches which are remote-controlled by tones superimposed on the mains) and if the losses due to the total cable length through the houses and the distribution infrastructure weren't sufficiently large, then I'd say that it's theoretically possible.
            In practice though,,, I'd doubt it'd work.
            But hey,, I'd be really interested to hear if anyone out there has done it!

    I'd like to see the throughput when someone fires up an arc welder that's on the same circuit!

  • scotty on 19/11/2009 - 23:31

    We are renovating our garage into a granny flat/small office next year, and this is definitely a product that I will consider.

    • TeaEarlGreyHot on 20/11/2009 - 00:41

      A hint from bitter experience Scotty,, when you renovate take every opportunity to run twice as many power GPOs as you think you'll need, + run UTP cabling wherever you can access + RG6 coax'… You don't even need to terminate the data/RF cabling, but build it into the walls while you have the chance. Take photo's & measurements so that you can terminate later if/when required…
      It's a lot easier to have the stuff unused in the wall cavities than to try pulling it through some time later!!!
      I thought I'd covered myself when doing a major reno' some years back, but now I'm kicking myself for the couple of places I forgot to cable, that are now impossible to access.

        Wish more homes were just designed more practically (rather that still using 150 yr old building techniques/designs). Removable skirting for cable runs like they have in offices (although with a "home" veneer finish) would make life a lot easier… just a matter of time before we are laying optic fibre in place of the existing legacy cable standards.

  • life is a little cr… on 20/11/2009 - 12:20

    Does anyone know if this works with linux?? I have two linux boxes I want to hook this up to as I dont want to run cables.

    Also I cant seem to find Dick Smith, Office works or even HT stock the product. I am in Melbourne.
    Thanks

      These dont need an operating system to work.

      All your computer needs is a working Ethernet connection.
