The shed has spiders, pretty sure they are coordinating their attacks over 4G.

Rather than the World Wide Web?

Also great for playstation xbox nexus tv roku wdlive and ALL internet connected devices.
If you bought two twin packs you could even have internet in the SHED, yes SHED!

Strange title, these aren't a replacement for a switch.

These are available again.

Through the ceiling? :confused: that would look horrendous.

Beware powerlines lose speeds over distance, mine only get 20mbs rather then 50mbps internet over a 30m distance, this might just be my houses wiring but one of my friends had the same issue.

BT hub and the unavoidable firmware updates, ditched the hub as soon as i could, a real piece of garbage.
They big up how great the wifi signal is, whats the point if the actual connection disconnects randomly to **** firmware.

Bought a TP-link 9980 over two years ago for £50, best purchase in a long time.

Thanks, I just snagged two of these before they realise their mistake

You need a Powerline adapter to use it.
Does it work with TP LINK Powerline adapter?

i had zero disconnects with sky, just switched to the newest bt hub and cuts out regularly.

like some others have suggested, drill some holes and wire your house up. Some good sites out there to help you out.

We have about 6 of these in the house (usage depends on children being home), 2 with triple ports + Wi-Fi (+ 2 x 8 port hubs connected to them). They are only 200Mbps, but they have never had any connection problems, even after moving to fibre (40Mb).

Using their Cockpit software, the connections register between about 110-140Mbps (wiring is at least 30 years old).

Yum. Boiled fish!

Does this have wifi as well need to use my phone but got no network

The shed has spiders, pretty sure they are coordinating their attacks over 4G.

It also depends on which plug combination you use. For me, some plug pairs work flawlessly, others disconnect randomly. Again, probably down to how they're wired.

I used powerline adaptors for a while, they were adequate.
I then spent a couple of hours one Saturday and drilled myself a couple of holes, ran 2 CAT5E cables and terminated them both in wall mounted sockets.
Difference - night & day.
If you've got no other option then powerline should offer better than WiFi. But you'll never get anywhere near the headline speed and if you've got the time and inclination, cable every time (don't always think about the most direct route for cables - I ran mine through a wall upstairs, down the side of the house and back in downstairs, so everywhere is wired now).

heat for the unorthodox description

Yep, really good. I now have wifi in the garden thanks to one right near the back door of the house. :smiley:

I also run a pond which eats about 400w, my power bills are a bit on the high side.

Have seen far to many of these type of products causing lag and we'll below standard throughput.

hardwire or mesh is the only way for me

Strange title, these aren't a replacement for a switch.

I've found I always need pass through with these

Honestly, possibly. Its a 10 year old house now and honestly, no clue about wiring.

Anyone know how well these are with BT TV? I have had the TP Link 500Mbps and they were a constant buffer

some powerline products have issues with BT hub routers. cuts out every now and then

You have all that and no smart meter?

I already have internet in my shed! :stuck_out_tongue:
And a router, a TV, a roku.....


I have an 8 port in the living room, cable through the ceiling to another 8 port in the loft where my servers live. I dread to think what my electricity bill for technology is!

In the modern gadget-filled household, you'd probably need to buy a switch as well :smiley:

Personally I'd rather have a pair of 8-port gigabit switches and drop a cable through the ceiling. The cost would be about the same, but it would make using a NAS much less painful.
