The conversion is Mbps/8 = MB/sec = (probably, though it's an ambiguous descriptor) Megs/sec, so 200Mbps = 25 MB/sec, or assuming the same overhead as standard Ethernet (around 10%), about 22 MB/sec.]]>Mar 9th 2010 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/
If the two power plugs are on different circuits, and you haven't added a bridge, then the transfer rate will be zero.

If the two plugs are next to each other in the same room, the transfer rate will probably be close to 200Mbps.

In any other case, your mileage may vary.

It depends.]]>Mar 10th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 10th 2010 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/
I can run one cable from my router to one of my Netgear four port powerline devices. I can then connect up to three other computers to the remaining ports. I then plug in a second powerline device, and plug in four devices to that. So from a pair of these things, I can run 7 devices, and then add up to at least two more plugs elsewhere in the house.

The problem is that powerline is not very fast or reliable. If something is causing noise on your power lines, it's worse than noise on wireless. Also worse than wireless is the speed rating. That is only a maximum. Chances are your home's wiring will not allow for the rated speed.

I switched to using a second Airport Extreme to go N wireless for my remote devices. It's not perfect, but it's better than powerline.]]>Mar 9th 2010 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 10th 2010 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/
But my Dad's house is a WiFi black hole, lots of interference and the like, he was getting a lot of signal fluctuation, and didn't want me running ethernet cable, so after going through 2 WiFi adapters (thought the first was bad) and a bridge (which died), I got fed up and plugged in one of the Netgear powerline adapters and it's been perfect ever since. No. I'm serious. Not a single dropped connection. In a Victorian house that was built before electric power. The wiring is probably as old as my Dad, and he's 70. Speaking of Dad, he's just happy that he can "Google whatever the hell pops into my head."]]>Mar 9th 2010 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 9th 2010 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/And if you are already exited by such a rather boring device, check out the Zyxel NBG-318S which is a Wireless HomePlug AV Router ;)]]>Mar 10th 2010 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/brite-view-linke-pipes-content-to-four-ethernet-sources-over-exi/Mar 11th 2010 1:32PM
