A bit late maybe but Devolo do an Ethernet over power adaptor which comes with built in wireless. I have a pair and they work a treat.

ok an update....


Had my 50MB line installed today and spent quite a bit of time discussing the problems I have been having with o2. He states that the virgin router uses n rather then g which is much better.

So once its all set up we take the laptop back to my desk and test the speed..... 1.5  :shocked:. I was getting 3.5-4 from o2  :huh:

Anyway... he then told me to try the little usb dongle thing to help things along after they had gone. Well as expected that was no better. I expect the network plugs to be delivered early next week. Lets hope things improve then.  :undecided:


Yet to try the laptop elsewhere as I had to go out... but will be testing it once I am home. Not impressed so far :angry:

Sorry mate I've already said I had wireless issues with my lads one that runs on N router tech!
I've part solved my issues by ordering a longer router coaxl cable and sticking it in the hall way
Mohamed comes to hill instead of hill goes to Mohamed  :grin:

In the settings there is a 5GHz setting you might want to try that and fixing a channel most Wireless old thech uses 2GHz so if you get a dongle make sure it uses 5Ghz to improve signal!

As for my useless information on my last post suck on eggs!  :tongue:
If all else fails stick a coat hanger into the back of it  :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :evil:

Haaa yeah I saw that link yesterday and did read well most of it anyways!
They suggested the same thing, but I'm still expecting the SUPER V HUB ROUTER to have been better than I was told! I was expecting my mate in the USA to say "yeah Jay it rocks"  :rolleyes:
I might buy a Cisco Router heard good things about Cisco ones that can handle cable! Not cheap though  :grin:

By the way what final speeds are you getting you should be hitting 55 from what I hear?

with the usb dongle the best i managed was 43 worst was 3 and some didnt even complete and hung. Without it was a measly .5  :shocked:

However I only managed to test it for about 5mins before I had to go out. Will give it a proper test tomorrow morning or tonight when I am home. Will be getting a good 'ol testing all over the house to compare from previous connection with o2 (which I stil have thanks to your thread :grin:)

I think you should give it some time plus reading the forum on Vmedia has some tips on improve range, weird I find my router jumps speeds its like it will hover around 5-6 then if required more it takes some time to get the full speeds. I'm not sure if its the ping or quality of line in question, but I have seen MAX 20 on a torrent, but thats only what other people are giving me my upload never hits more than 1 max 3.5?
