Plug in wireless bridges - opinion needed
not sure i am using the right word, but i am referring to those wireless bridges that can be plugged into the regular AC outlets.
i am receiving my master bedroom stb soon, and wify is much opposed to running another 50 feet ethernet cable to there.
any real life experiences and opinions on those bridges? work great, pos, so-so, finicky, easy and reliable?
will appreciate. i already have belkin router and secure wireless network in house.

Powerline network adapters work fine for IKS. the slower 85mps are fine. No need to spend the extra cost of the 200mps, faster adapters. The are usually plug and play.

Re: Plug in wireless bridges - opinion needed
Hardwire is always best, but the powerline adapters will work just fine. With the belkin router you will not have issues of compatibility. I have found that it really does matter if your houses wiring is new or upgraded. Older houses i have found sometimes do not carry strong signals and sometimes they drop signals. I have used linksys powerline adapters with my belkin and it runs fine.

Re: Plug in wireless bridges - opinion needed
The 85's (gaming adapters) are really good. The Netgear XE102's are a little dated now, but still work great (cheaper as well).
