Solwise Homeplug?

[joe2cool]

Hi I'm thinking of connecting my Sony internet TV to my router via the use of a homeplug, rather than a sony dongle due to the bad reviews of connection & the homeplug being more reliable.
I've been looking at 'Solwise 3-port 85Mbps Homeplug Ethernet Adapter' for connecting the TV, Humax & blu ray to the internet. Would this be OK for connecting all three? I realise I'd need a single one connected to the router as well for a network.

Or do I need a separate plug for each one?

Thx

Doesn't your router have enough LAN sockets to connect these things directly, assuming you can move it conveniently close enough to them ?

If not, then you'll probably need enough of these Solwise adapters to do so.

No the router is upstairs.............thats my question using the the one'Solwise 3-port 85Mbps Homeplug Ethernet Adapter' would save on using three?

The modem/router is upstairs (with the desktop PC) and homeplug (Develo) and the TV, Humax HD PVR, Hi-Fi, Blu-ray etc are downstairs and fed from a fast switch which is connected to the other Develo. All works fine.

Thats it Gem, so when you say fast switch is it similar to a 3 port homeplug? or are you using more than one for your TV etc Also what speed are they

[joe2cool]

Hi having checked out (Develo) there seems to be roughly 40 odd pounds difference compared with solwise. That would be for 200 mbps, 2 mini adapters & one with 3 ports.

Unsure what to go for, had any problems Gem?

Sorry I was slow in responding - hectic life here lately ().
I've had my homeplug for some time now (probably 2 years maybe more!) and it only has one outlet, hence the fast switch (with 8 ethernets) to distribute it all. I've not had a single problem with it even left off (when we are away) for 8 weeks or so. Switch it all on and away it goes. I use iPlayer frequently and no trouble.
Go for it!

OK Thx .................so what are you connecting 8 ethernets to? a develo router?
