Ethernet via electrical points any good?

[mrapoc]

Parents are moaning about the ethernet cable iv got coming from downstairs to my room.

Wireless is out  of the question as I game quite a bit - high pings are a no go.

Are those electrical point ethernet solutions any good?

Whats considered the best bit of kit/bundle?

I dont know anything about it...never really crossed my mind

Solwise always gives unbiased advice on such things, so their view is worth a read, whilst I buy their kit you can find plenty of other retailers too

Solwise Homeplugs 85Mbps for me as well for LAN , use a couple of 200AV for streaming to PS3. The 200 AV can coexist on the same network but cannot talk to the 85's

ahh so different types..

which would be best to act as a general "bridge" for like...all traffic?

Ill have it so 1 is downstairs and the router will go straight to it..

The other in my room, attached to my old speedtouch (as a switch) to which my pc, my ps3 and anything else i happen to be working with/playing on lol

The main thing you need to consider is the speed you want. If you're going to be streaming, go for something quick. If it's just "general" use, you could probably go with a slightly slower one. Otherwise, they're much of a muchness I think.

Brilliant bit of kit, they really are plug and play.
