    I had the 200mbps homeplugs, but the didnt work for me.
    Could only get a really weal signal and some time none at all. Mabey its because ive got too many extensions leads plugged in.

    Have you considered one of these>OpenMedia Wifi Bridge - Make Your Dreambox Wireless on eBay (end time 10-Sep-10 11:26:36 BST)

    Got my self one of these wiffi bridge and all is working well.
    I did have some problems connecting to my wireless network, but a simple factory reset to router solved the problems.

    I got it up and running and connected to DM500s and always has good signal at 80/95%.

            I have some dotted around the house, Devolo 85MB. They work really well, just don't hang them off extenstions and remember to enable the encryption.
            My master plan is to live forever..... going to plan so far
            Despite the cost of living, it's still very popular.
            No good deed goes unpunished....

                so from what i can gather they can be a bit hit and miss depending on make, model etc

                    Delvo plugs are very good but if you got a dm800 or vu box etc just use wifi dongle works superb

                        I have been using the Netgear 85Mbs homeplugs for the last year has no issues at all. They work a treat.

                        I have 3 connected into my mains. All of them direct into a wall plug not into an extension lead with multiple power plugs connections. Currently have 2 dreambox 800HD connected to 2 homeplugs. 1 home plug of course is connected to my router.

                        For you info my router is also Netgear. I have good reports on the Develo homeplugs as well
