    8010P HomePlug & wireless AP in the shed

    So I bought a pair of TP-LINK TA8010Ps from my local Hughes: I wanted to see if my shed's electrical supply was indeed on the same ring as the the house, so I paired the two & trundled off down the end of the garden with one. Low and behold the little green lights pop up on the unit suggesting...

    3 Gigabit ports & bandwidth

    Thanks Pete. I think I'll try the 8030Ps in the the office because as you suggest, it would be a very rare occasion that I would be simultaneously using all those wired items in the office at once, but this way I can keep them attached. For simplicity, I'll use the 8010P for the wireless AP in...

    3 Gigabit ports & bandwidth

    Thanks for that Pete & sorry for the confusion... Yes, EOP does make sense. Cabling to the second floor is a definite no & the the back of the house in the extension would be difficult too, hence the question. So, to clarify, the limitation in bandwidth comes from my router end as opposed to...

    3 Gigabit ports & bandwidth

    Hi! I'm looking to setup a home network with a number of PLAs around the house. Is there a limit to the babdwidth in the house and therefore, will adding more than 1 pair significantly reduce the speed of the others? Separately, would a 3-port PLA such as the TP-LINK 8030P limit the bandwidth...

    WiFi extender vs powerline vs moving the D7000

    Thanks a lot guys. That video is great too! Update: at present, we've got an electrician at the house doing some wiring & he's agreed to refurb an old out-of-order plug socket that's on the outside our extension, pointing towards the garden. Now all I need to do is decide what to plug in there...

    WiFi extender vs powerline vs moving the D7000

    Thanks System Error Message... even if your screen name did initially make me think that my post had failed ;). AV1200s are doable, but I would still need wireless coverage of the garden, so presumably I would still need to add a wireless AP to it? Just to clarify, in your diagram: --- means...

    WiFi extender vs powerline vs moving the D7000

    Hi there, Apologies firstly for the rambling title: I've purchased NG's D7000 to replace my ISP's excuse for a router & unfortunately, with my house filled with solid walls, it hasn't delivered the all-encompassing network I was hoping. I really would appreciate some worldly experience before...
