Re: Powerline adapters
 

It does seem to be a case of try it and see what happens. In my case using 200meg powerlines I get less than 3 meg between different floors. My daughter now has them as they moved their PC from one room to the other and they get the 20meg from the router (they have 20meg from virgin)

I'll explain clearer, it used to be a standard ring main.

But when we had to rewire the upstairs lights go to there own circuit breaker, as do the power points, the same downstairs. So you can turn off all the light upstairs and leave downstairs on.

The point is. Hom3r, when all the electricity is functioning, everything goes back to the consumer unit. So there is a common circuit present except when a circuit breaker is in effect, which isolates that portion.

Powerlines would not have detrimental performance whwn everything is working unless there is a noisy appliance on the circuit.

Does that make sense?
