A laptop with 8 antenna will be different.

If they can make wireless give 80MB/s sometime in the next year I will eat my hat.

Presumably fried, using the transmitter required to get 80MB/s wirelessly. For the record I currently get 3MB/s on the wireless here.

Been thinking about home plugs myself. My wifi is okay but sometimes struggles to get above 22Mb/s which is a shame since I have nigh-on 40Mb/s available. Only real problem is that there's precious few spare sockets in my 'server room'. I already have two nearly full extension gangs.

There's already Ethernet downstairs but unfortunately it runs along the right side of the room and I sit in the middle with the port on my laptop facing left  :eyebrow:

Hah, maybe use the HPs downstairs but it seems a silly way to get Ethernet round the side of the room  :sigh:

You can get HomePlugs with mains pass through

D'oh! I should have guessed that. Ah well, it's the first time I've considered them.  :slap:

I use a couple of these http://www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-500av-piggy.htm and never have any problem. I'm on Fibre and they don't slow the connection at all BUT I do believe it also depends upon your house/office wiring. That is, how old and in what condition it's in can affect the throughput.

I realised I could run some more Cat6 down the stairs and along the opposite wall of the lounge. I've fixed a switch to the wall and now the couch has four gigabit ports within easy reach. Since we normally have laptops plugged in for power having a trailing Ethernet cable makes no difference.

:solved:

's a good job because I asked Support to regrade me:
