Has anyone used powerline ethernet? This is not power-over-ethernet. This is just (2) units that let you use your AC outlets for an ethernet cable. One side is connected to your network and the other you plug your pc into.



Thanks


I've got these installed at home:

Easy setup, no problems, but I haven't tested throughput if that's an issue for you.

Be careful of using in-line power because the devices you are connecting must be 802.11af compliant to use it. 7940 and 7960's are not 802.11af compliant (They use the Cisco PoE standard) and will not work with in-line power. The new 7941's and 7961's are 802.11af compliant and will work with in-line power.

Thanks, I'll have a look..

I was thinking more of 2 units that allow you to use ethernet over AC power. One unit connects to your network and the other you plug your pc into..
