    Homeplugs

    Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone can help me? I was looking to set up my f5 using home plugs. I currently have my router next to tv but I have to move it. Could anyone advise on a good set to get? Also how many OUTPUT plugs can be added? I have 2 boxes which I would like to hook up...

    Are the two boxes in same location (ie same mains socket) if so you will need one homeplug that is multiport (I have one that has 3 ports).

    If its going to be a different location (ie different mains socket) then you will need 3 homeplugs.

    I have solwise homeplug 200AV series and don't have a problem at all. However, I have only tried that and there maybe others that are cheaper and just as good.

          The 2 boxes are in different locations. Is it just a matter of getting a second output plug or third if need be?

            Can you just add a second plug to these for output?

                  Is there input/output of these or are they all the same?

                    They are all the same. I bought the pa211 starter pack them an extra 1. They are also reported to be compatible with the 500mb version.

                      I think the 200mb ones will be more than adequate.. Cheers for ur help

                        Cheaper getting a pair of homeplugs and then an extra homeplug. The pair will already be paired so you just pair the 3rd one. You may be able to get packs of 3 which hopefully will be paired. You are correct 200mb is well more than adequate.

                        Like I said, I use Solwise without a problem and I know someone who uses TP link ones without a problem.
