    Anyway experience with one of these gizmos http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/5454977/art/netgear/wnce2001-100pes-universal.html

    I have a new LG Home Entertainment unit that has a Lan socket for Home Network connection.Its too far away from Router for cable.I tried Homplugs-drove me mad for days trying to get them working-they won't.No idea why.

    Appreciate any help on this...trying to avois another return like the Homeplugs.

    It seems the link you posted isn't correct.

    I don't have any experience with this, but it looks like it will do the job fine.

    Buy a box of cat5 cable and cable it. A cat5 cable does gigabit (1000mbit), wireless "g" barely does 30mbit and is susceptible to interference from your neighbours wireless and other devices. If not now, you'll definitely need cat5 to every tv in the house in future. Why not do it right from the start?

    Or get Cat6 causes it more shielded and better over distances.

    Far too difficult to crimp for the ordinary house, plus shielded only works if every single device gets earthed and you use the metal rj45s.
