cool! do you know if it would work in a house that was built in 1989? all the powering and stuff is orginal ill sub to you!!
thanks im on ps3 too, and yes as long as the wiring in the house is good you wont have a problem setting it up, hell you could even do it on a 100 year old house as long as the wiring is good
omg man thanks for the info! ive been tired of lagging and randomly signing out check your PM
Can you connect 1 powerline adapter for Xbox live?
no no no that is not how powerline works, you need 2 adapters, one for the router so that the internet data can be sent through the walls and one for the xbox so that the adapter will pick up the internet signal
do you uhave like t3 connection for your building wtf 103 mb in like 2 seconds holy shit
i need help… i bought an Actiontec 85MBPS powerline ethernet kid (2) i have one powerline connected via ethernet to the router… and the other upstairs in my room connected via ethernet to my ps3… my ps3 says ip connection timed out… so i tried on my macbook… no connection please help!!! did i get a defected one? is it a setting for the router idk HELP!!!!!!!!
lol kid i mean KIT
Wired FTW !
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.
great non-techie review
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.
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!
gr8 . i never thought it was possible to connect to internet using the power line. amazing technology.
@snoman6363
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,,,,
zomg…. did he juz plugged into pciE x16 slot?
zzz~ what happened to the pciE x1 slot? dont have 1? zzz~
@zomgbbqwth

i’m sorry linus~ i dint see your comment~ sorry
@davidsfc9 benny hill theme tune
can you use powerline networking with a wireless connection
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.
@ve7hlo I cant say it messes up my radios.
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
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 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.

No that’s a file on the computer network, so it goes as fast as the ethernet cable allows it.
