Installed a pair of Novatech Addon 85mbs Powerline adaptors last night (£47 total at http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-PL2) and they work brilliantly.
Had been having trouble getting wireless reception in my backroom for a 2nd Squeezebox. I originally bought a Hawking wireless extender but although this boosted my laptop signal to 80-100%, the Squeezebox still stuttered and generally went to a complete stop. It also rather annoyingly meant that I effectively had two wireless networks in the house as the extender used a seperate SSID. All confusing, complicated and not working. The Powerline adaptors on the other hand were simplicity itself to install. One plugged in upstairs by the computer, the second one in the back room. They linked up to each other right away, and once I'd realised that I had to plug them straight into sockets, rather than through a 6 way adaptor I had music streaming in no time. Seriously thinking of moving my 1st Squeezebox and Wii to Powerline now as well to reduce the amount of radio waves bouncing round my house. Can't recommend this approach highly enough.
