Powerline Networking with VU SOLO2

[Reloaded]

Hi,

I was thinking of getting a power-line networking adaptor for my solo2 as I'm having
terrible performance issues with WiFi connectivity.

Has anybody used them? and if so are they more reliable then a WiFi connection?

My set up is simple, I'm trying to connect to my new solo2 box to my router downstairs
so I can ping my dm800.

Thanks in advance!

I just bought one yesterday, Sitecom homeplug dual pack 500 Mbps to replace my old 54 Mbps WiFi connection to Solo2.

Tested in my apartment on two farthest 230V wall plugs (about 25 m of distance - lenght of power cables inside of walls).
Excellent performance . I can only recommend (also as a replacement of 802.11 n 300 Mbps WiFi).

PS: paid 30,- Eur in supermarket .

Just an info about a speed:
Filezilla Ftp transfer from Solo2 HDD ext3 to PC, Solo2>Powerline 500 Mbps>Router 100Mbps>PC Windows XP:

File transfer successful, transferred 2 051 407 872 bytes in 771 seconds = 2,537 MBytes/s

Same WiFi 54 Mbps transfer:

File transfer successful, transferred 2 051 407 872 bytes in 679 seconds = 2,881 MBytes/s

My opinion: My router is downgrading Powerline. It's time to upgrade a router for 1Gbps one.

Same conditions, but cabled LAN:

File transfer successful, transferred 2 051 407 872 bytes in 175 seconds = 11,179 MBytes/s

Azzz. Cable is cable.

upgrade your cable network to 1gbps...yoy can transfer over 32mb/s...

Same WiFi 54 Mbps transfer:

I have the Duo2, but from what I've seen its wireless is 802.11n, so if Solo2 is like Duo2 you could get up to 150 mb/s connecting to a wifi "n" router.

2,537 MBytes/s
2,881 MBytes/s

Paolino, in English it could be better to write:

2.537 MBytes/s (point used as decimal separator)
2.881 MBytes/s

because English people could read 2,537 as 2537 (since comma is used as thousand separator), and 2537 MBytes/s actually evaluate to more than 2 GBytes/s!!!
