Linksys PLE300 PowerLine AV Network Adapter
We live in an appartment complex with 520 units at the 7th floor. We tried to setup our wireless network without a lot of success. Connection keep cutting off, and our 30 mbits/s connection was going to waste.
So, we decided to try the powerline system from Linksys. we are using a PLK300 kit, a PLS300 (4-Port Network) and a PLE300 (Network adaptor). We got one of the 4 ports by the tv, to which is linked a Xbox360, PS3, Roku and the samsung TV. We are using a 4 ports by one computer and a printer. 1 one port is by another computer, and the last 1 one port is wired to our the wireless router (which is wired connected also to a Wii, a PS3 and a Roku). We are still using the 2 laptops and the 2 iphone wirelessly. Needless to say, we heavily use our internet connection.
I must say I am totally impressed by the powerline system. We tried first with just 2 adaptors and it was real easy to setup. Plug and Play basically. When we got up to 4 adaptors and putting security on took a little time to figure out, but once you understand, goes pretty well. I get from one of the computer the full 30 mbits download speed and 10-15 upload speed.
In a month, we have had no issue so far. No need to reset or anything.
With this experience, for "wired" network, I think powerline is the way to go. Wireless is still great for laptop and smartphone, but for gaming computer, it just does not cut it the way the powerline system does. Especially when they are a lot of interference
