home plug network
 
I've asked this before but ages ago, but I really need to move my printer as it's an eyesore where it is.
It's connected directly by ethernet to my router, so I can print wirelessly from my laptop.
I don't want to pay a lot, so are these a good buy?

A cheaper option would be a longer ethernet lead which can be found easily and cheaply on Ebay for less than £5 for a 30mtr one and they are available in shorter lengths.

Just measure the length required and go on ebay and search for "Ethernet cable xx metres" and you will find one cheap enough for your needs.;)

I did the same for my Bluray player and 20 metres was around £4.50 inc p&p.
