Hi all,

Some family friends have had their BT broadband taken out and gone to
Virgin cable (for the '20M' bit I think).

The house was originally two buildings so is fairly long and thin. I
put the ADSL router in the middle when I helped them set it up a few
years ago. The cable modem / router are now at one end, ok for the PC
in the next room but not for the one at the diametrically opposite end
of the building! ;-(

They have an 'n' Wireless netbook and the router is also 'n' but the
netbook loses signal about 2/3's the way down the house.

I have told them about the Ethernet_over_mains for the remote PC and
they are up for it but when asked they said they did have 'two
fuseboxes' and I wondered (especially if they were modern ELCB /
whatever types) if that might be a problem?

I might be able to use the EoM system to position the router more
centrally but I think that would be a second choice.

Cheers, T i m


why not just run a length of CAT5e from Router to other PC ? ... much
better than Ethernet over mains.
