Hi!
List members will probably remember Chris and I discussing Power Line
Network adapters.
I bought a pair of Tp-Link TL-PA8010P-KIT adapters and I'm pleased with
them thus far though they do generate a lot of RF noise so if you're
into Short Wave listening then chances are you're going to have to
disconnect these adapters.
I posed the question some time ago as to whether one adapter could be
used as a master adapter - say plugged into a LAN port of your router -
and otehr adapters being used as slaves of that master - I initially
thought you might have to use a pair of adapters for every additional
device you connected to your power line - one for master and one for
slave - - but it seems my initial impressions were inaccurate.
You can in fact use one adapter for the master and additional adapters
for every slave you need.
For example suppose you already have your master connected? All you then
have to do to add another adapter is to hold down the button on the
Master or any Slave adatper connected to your network for 10 seconds and
then hold down the button of the additonal adapter after you've
connected it, this will add the additional slave to the secure power
line network.
These TP-Link Power line network adapters are supposed to have a speed
of aGPS? Well I doubt that in practise they'd transmit that speed but
they're certainly a lot more robust than my AAC Wireless connection I
was using between lounge and den.
