Originally posted by SimonMac View PostFor those using WiFi extenders, if you set the SSID and password the same as the main router I assume it seamlessly moves from one to the other, however are devices smart enough to drop a weak connection for a stronger one where they over lap?
I didn't set them all at the same frequency as I assumed they would conflict with each other. Perhaps something to try on another day.Comment

Does the same SSID mean they both show up as one network in the OS?
I don't see why you need to do that. Surely the devices can switch between networks with different SSIDs.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Then you'd need to create entries for each network and password on each device. This is probably ok for just you or a few of devices. If you have guests, or many devices, it's a pain to keep all that maintained. One network, with one password, covering the whole property works just fine.Comment

Anyone measured the speed over these power line devices? I've got a client PC to connect up that's going to be nowhere near the router, so I either need to buy it a WiFi card or get a pair of these. My other PC connects at 300Mb/s on WiFi - I'm not sure if powerline is going to be better or worse.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostAh. Mine set up a local WiFi on each plug rather than working as access points. At least I think they do. I'm not sure how they would communicate with the router that they're part of the same WiFi network although maybe they can - this is not my area at allOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

The speed will be dependant on the quality of the wiring, the distance, and the proximity to "noisy" devices. I've never tried to measure the actual speed across the network rather than that reported by the vendor tool.
