Hi!
I got my Power Line adapters on Tuesday I think it was and they
connected without a hitch, just connected one adapter to the router and
to a mains outlet and the other to my Ethernet Switch in the den and to
a mains power outlet there.
I took note of other comments made here and both adapters are not
connected to serge protection or any other filtering I'm aware of on the
mains power circuits.
So to the obvious next question, given just so well these power line
adapters are performing I'm planning to get some extra units and thus
illiminate as much reliance on my Wi-Fi network as is possible. If I get
further units can I just buy a separate power line adapter for each unit
I wish to add to my Home Network or do I have to have a pair of Power
Line Adapters for every additional device I add.
For example, suppose I want to add my Sangean Tabletop Internet radio on
the top of my fridge in the kitchen, can I just plug in a power line
Adapter?

I use these so I can control my TIVO box via my iPhone app. For this
to happen I have to connect my cable router to the back of my TIVO
box. Router is upstairs and cable box is in the lounge downstairs, so
they have been connected via Belkin powerline adapters instead of
running ethernet cables throughout the house.
I have been using them for 4 years and they work flawlessly. The one
downstairs is going through a surge protector and does not seem to
affect performance. The signal being passed through my wires only goes
as far as the fuse box, so no danger of next door picking up my feeds.

In my case then that would be a huge problem, I have quite a few
serge filters in my power circuits,

that should not be a problem as from memory they work on a sort of
mac address of each device.
the main issue you may have is if you use any form of filters on
your lines or powerpoints.
that also includes surge filters, I have had this problem, all
filters had to be removed to make them work.

Hi!
At present I have a Wi-Fi link between my Asus RTAC3200 and an
Asus RTAC68 router, the RTAC3200 being the main router and the
RTAC68 as aan Access point.
This arrangement seems to work very well though speed it limited
to 600MBPS.
I’m thinking of using some power line LAN adapters in place of the
Wi-Fi arrangement as described above, TP-Link are offering a
Starter Pack of 2 Adapters which are supposed to have a maximum
transmission speed over the power line of 1.2GBPS.
So that’s all simple enough but I am a little concerned as to the
venerability of these things.
For example, suppose the owner of the property next door just so
happened to have some of these TP-Link adapters, could he easily
gain access to my Home Network or could the adapters on his
property possibly conflict with those on mine?
