    Belkin wireless router & Netgear Powerline adapters....

    About to install my belkin wireless router tomorrow but i'm about 60% sure the signal will nto be good enough to reach my room. I have been looking at homeplugs/powerline adapters in order to solve a possible problem. I had intended to get this (but amazon take 1 to 2 months) as I thought being the same brand no complications. Can anyone tell me if i buy this should I have any problems?? Or will it just be a simple plug and play routine???

    These things generally work ok particularly when on the same circuit, sometimes fridges, neighbors can cause issues. Personally I think if you want to try the one from amazon, they are particularly easy to return things to if the product does not work as you hoped. Play can be some what harder to return to, but distance selling regulations are your friend. I would buy the one you like and if it and return if it does not work out.

    While doing a further search on amazon came across this (but its used- not found a brand new one) which fits my bill. No need to install anything and simple to set up! The house is on one circuit i think so I should be ok.

    But your right about returning things to amazon (very easy) - play. com ( could improve)
