Hi all
I've searched and read a few threads on the forum about this but couldnt find one that answers my questions. I'm in the same boat as most where my wireless n netgear router is upstairs and my devices are downstairs. Both rooms are seperated by a concrete slab.
Instead or running cables I'm left with 2 options (that are obvious to me anyways):
1) Get a wireless ap thhat has an ethernet port on it. This way I can connect a switch to the AP and run my 2 wired devices to this and 1 wireless.
2) Get the Powerline adapter. I found one that has a 4 port ethernet on the receiving end and a single ethernet port on the sending side.
They're both around the same price from the few sites I've seen and ppl I've spoken to. If I take the powerline adapter, how does it handle power surges? Will it make a difference to my speed if I'm running 2 wired devices concurrently on the receiving end while only having a single cable on the sending end?
