I've been using powerline adapters for almost 4 years now, and I'm very happy with them. My router is pretty far from my office, and my current laptop has a vampiric wifi card that requires non-free blobs to be loaded, so I just plug a powerline close to the router, another one where my office is, and that's it. The connection is solid, fast and responsive. I use the TP-Link powerlines, btw. -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible https://sergiodj.net/ --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
