Hi All,
I mentioned here a while back about a friends place that has two CU's one for the old part of the house and one for the new (both connected to one meter).
I put a pair or the Delovo dLan 14M units in for them and think I can remember them working, all be it at less than full speed.
I happened to be there again today and basically they hadn't been bothering with the 'remote' PC as they had a netbook but they could do with it again so I had a look again for them.
The connection utility seemed to see both units ok but the throughput was dire, so I plugged the remote one into a long extension lead and into the old house wiring (so on the same CU as the local unit) and away it went at 14M. ;-)
So, I think I remember talk of something that could 'bridge' the CU (hv caps or somesuch, assuming it was some of the active stuff in there causing issues) but is there an official solution like that please?
Cheers, T i m
The back story: The building is (now) long and thin and they have PC's at opposite ends of the building. When they had ADSL I put the router in the middle and with some jiggery pokery (long / active USB leads and WiFi dongles near the windows etc) managed to give both machines reasonable service. Now they have gone to cable and it's at one end of the (listed) building it's made things much more difficult. The router is 'n', as is the Netbook but the signal is still pretty weak (it hardly makes it through two walls).
