    homeplugs?spiderplugs for spiderbox

    Hi there just looking to know what would the best homeplugs be for the spiderbox as my router will be a bit away from reciever and i don,t want any messy cables about and what do they have to be withs regards to mps. Could i get away with 85mps or would i need 200mps and what kind of price would i be looking at? and plug thru ones if anyone knows of any good makes many thanks.

                    Hi Curious ... if i'm reading that right ... you can have 1 at the routers end , and up to 10 around the house ...

                        Can the spider box not use a wifi dongle like the dm800?

                          I have not read the specs fully but I would assume you could have as many a you like round the house. I have got one next to the router and another five plugged in over the rest of the house for the kids. I was tempted to invest in the Gigabit plugs but they were a little expensive and as I have only got an 'N' router it seemed a bit pointless.

                            I got the ones of ebay and work fine. if you want to use more than (i have 4) then you need to download some software and it takes about 10 mins to configure them

                              Get yourself a second hand linksys wrt54g router off ebay for about ?15 to ?20, then flash it with DDWRT. This will turn the router into a access point and you can then get yourself a wireless spiderbox. I have done this myself and it works a treat. You also get yourself 3 additional Lan sockets as well........Simples
