Powerline Sockets

THE ALM

Howdy all,

Came across these doing a bit of a search and wondering has anybody used the like of them before?

I currently using 4G so the 200mbps would be fine and they would also cut down on clutter. Would be handy to replace a socket behind a TV e.g where there could be three of four items needing internet access these days.

They certainly look a great idea.

Thanks.

This one seems to have 'it all'

but the price seems to be completely mad!

mad price alright, seems about £80 for the others. Would be good to hear if anybody has first hand experience with them.

At least with the likes of these you are not wasting a socket by plugging in a powerline adapter.

Might keep an eye on prices and see if they pop up for sale anytime.

I think I would prefer the option of being able to move a home plug to where I needed it, rather than have to replace all my double sockets with one socket and four RJ45 sockets

If you're using conventional powerline adapters with pass-through, which you should be doing anyway, then you don't lose anything.
