OT: 2 x Powerline 500Mbps Network Adapters

200Mbps Powerline adapters - wired networking through the mains power.
Handy if you've got dodgy WiFi in parts of the house or need something faster.

Got two pairs, both same spec (and would work together if you needed all 4)

do these need an ethernet cable plugged in to work then? not wirelessly?

Yep - you need an ethernet cable.

Probably best suited if you have a desktop PC, TV, media centre etc and wanted it hard wired to the router.

Happy to throw in a couple of network cables.

Bump, prices dropped

So do you plug one of the units into your router and the other in your desired location (and then connect to the device via an ethernet cable)? Or??

Also what's the range?

yep. essentially it means you can hardwire a PC/laptop/whatever to the router using the mains in place of a long network cable.

PC - ethernet cable - powerline adapter - mains electricity - powerline adapter - ethernet cable - router

Range I think is essentially unlimited - i.e. as long as it's on the same mains ring

One pair provisionally sold.

Sold, ta

Still one pair left, dropped to £15

Are these 500Mbps or 200Mbps? The link says 500. Cheers

Looks like 500 after all. My bad.
Still £15...

Are these still available? If so, I'll take them.

They are indeed. PM'd
