    The TP Link powerthrough adapter is not available till May (what TP Link have told me) proced at about £30 for single and up to £60 for double kit.

    However I realise that my PS3, Smart Tv and sky are all in same corner and i would like to connect these together. Is this the only product that will allow me to connect these....?

    (could not find anything similar from TP link)

    I was going to buy the mini Twin from Solwise which is about £50 inc P&P

    (compared to the 200mps Tplink twin pack from amazon at £36)

    DAK if the these solwise and TPlink products are compatible to be used on same home circuit?

    thanks

    If they are next to each other why not just use ethernet cables?
    Homeplug products from different vendors should be compatible on the same network as long as they're all the same speed. If they're different speeds they won't see each other, but will still link to your router. They do not have to be on the same ring main, just the same phase.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    router/modem is not in same room as ps3, pc etc., hence why adapters must be best option for me.
