Jump to unread Post a CommentDo I simply plug one in the stud and one in the livign room, job done?
I have 4 devices in the living room with are all attached to a ethernet switch, will the switch work with this plug?
If I wanted to add a third plug upstairs can i do do they only work in pairs?
Will they work in 4 way adapters?
Lastly will the speed be close enough to an ethernet cable?
Thanks I know I have asked a lot.

If I wanted to add a third plug upstairs can i do do they only work in pairs? YOU NEED/BEST TO BUY MATCHING PLUGS - SO 2 SETS OF THESE.
Will they work in 4 way adapters? YES - MAYBE AT REDUCED SPEED
Lastly will the speed be close enough to an ethernet cable? 85Mbps MAX SO NO. IN REALITY I'D SAY 50

Good reviews and cheapest price I've ever seen for homeplugs.

Probably the limiting factor will be your broadband speed anyway, unless you transfer a lot of files from one computer to another on your own network or use local network media streaming. 50 or even 20 mbits will keep up with most people's broadband.
i have a wireless router in my basement and find it hard to catch signal in my attic if i buy this kit and plug one in the basement and one in the attic and use network cable will it work ?

This should work fine. As long as your electricity circuits are on the same ring main. I have one connected to the router in the living room then the other connected to another room with a 4 port switch feeding a tv, a sky box and a ps3 - works a treat. :D
Yes no problem.
