I should have mentioned that this was with those really cheap power strips that don't mention anything about surge suppressors, and in general I tend to avoid those. I was thinking that there was maybe something to do with the switch. Strips not labeled with surge suppressors are also problematic.

Cheers,
Cliff

Hi,

Actually, it is because the power strips often have a built-in surge
suppressor which filters out the entire signal. It is recommended that
you don't use any power strip...instead, plug directly into the power
outlet.

Best,
Elsa

Subject: Re: [BAWUG] Linksys Powerline Networking

I've played around with it a little bit, and have had some success.
First, just give it a try and it may work.  There is no formula that I
have found to figure out if a link will work or not.  Second, one thing
that seems to effect it more than you would expect is power strips.
Using power strips seems to really kill things so I would suggest
plugging the units directly into the wall.

As for speed, I've saturated a 10mb Ethernet segment and have not had
the chance to take it further and test on 100mb yet since I have had no
need.

Cheers,
Cliff
