Powerline Adaptors

Hi, im after a set of power line adapters, ive never used them before i just got a few quick questions about them.

I got a router xbox and pc i want to connect so would i just need to get one for each? or would i need one for each port on the router?

Thanks, Tom

just one set would suffice; they come in pairs -- one is attached to the router via Ethernet cable for setup and the other goes into the room (power socket ) where u want a connection. they work very well actually -- far better than , say, wireless extenders. Solwise do a nice pair /.

But how would it work? i would i need a pair from router to xobx and route to pc
or would i just need one connected to the router and one for pc and one for xobx?

Each device (PC or Xbox) needs one homeplug ethernet connection (some homeplugs have two, three or six ethernet sockets, so it depends how far these devices are apart!), and the router needs one as well. So for router, PC and Xbox, three homeplugs (or one for the router, and a double-socket one for the Xbox and PC).

Depends on how you have set the PC up, if that is already connected to the router via a ethernet cable, then you just a pair of homeplugs, 1 connected to router, other to xbox.

You can buy some homeplugs with 3 adapters in the pack
