Re: Powerline HomePlug networking
Are there any kind of equipment that interfere with the speed such as microwaves or things with electrical motors in them...vacuums etc...?

Salu: Are you sure of the speed rating of your units?
Also, just to cover the bases: Are you getting transfer speeds of 2 Megabit (2Mb) or or 2MegayByte (2MB) which is ~ 16 Megabit?

The packaging does say 85Mb on it. The vista dialogue just said Mb/sec if my memory serves me correctly...
