Solwise Homeplugs - Wow they really work

After a long period of Wireless problems - multiple disconnects some days I
bought three of these a week ago. Plugged in - worked immediately. Apart
from a separate ISP problem they are working a dream.

£112 really well spent !!

totally agree, I had same experience.

wireless just doesn't work well in a older stone house like mine.

Another vote here for Solwise - the Homeplugs work extremely well*, and
their customer service is second to none.
*I would seriously recomend getting the higher speed version if you intend
streaming music, or moving large files.

Have the 85Mbps and they are just right for me. Not streaming music but
moving files about fine.

Never heard of these before but you've convinced me it's what I need!
I have two pcs in two rooms quite a way apart.
I've replaced my wired Netgear adsl router (which was rock-solid month after
month) with a wireless Netgear adsl router which is definitely flakey. I've
still got the old router but don't want to go back to cables going all round
the house.
Can you tell me exactly what components I need to buy to supplement my
router? Should I use the wireless one just in case somebody visits with a
laptop? Thanks all

The solwise website tells you all you need to know (www.solwise.co.uk).

You need two Solwise adaptors, and two lengths of cat-5 cable (supplied
with the plugs). One cable goes into your router and then into the
adaptor, which plugs into the mains; the other adaptor plugs into the
mains socket at the laptop end, the cat-5 cable then goes from your puter
to the adaptor. And off you go!

You could buy a third adaptor for when your mate comes round, it's easier
and more secure than wireless, there's no set up required on his machine.
Lots of mates? Buy lots of adaptors!

Really - it *is* as easy as that!

Buy direct from Solwise, they are cheaper, and quick. (No connection,
just a satisfied bod)

We have three plugs serving two PC's. The laptop is not used much for the
Internet but if it was I would buy another plug.
Like figgy I had never heard of them and neither had my usual PC engineer so
I took some convincing but think they are fantastic.

I just installed 3x PL85's for a customer who had been having problems with
wireless dropping connection in an old stone walled building. I wanted to
make sure they would solve the problem before installing them on site so I
put them through a bit of testing on my own network. I installed them on
different power ring mains and even installed one on the end of a coiled 40
meter extension reel and one on the end of a spur out to a shed. I couldn't
get them to fail to talk to each other... even when the only connection was
via the fusebox!

Love them, and would use them again any day...

I am still in awe with them. Never a dropped connection and great for moving
files from PC to PC in my small business. Wish I had used them a long time
ago.
