On: Converting to Powerline on one machine can be a help to your whole house

[mikevm]

I've been using the older Powerline technology for a couple of years now, I think the adapter is rated 200Mb/s, but I only get about 26Mb/s on the other machine.

Anyway, the latest generation of Powerline is called G.hn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.hn As you can see, it's targeting 1Gb/s rates, which is pretty cool!

G.hn gear you can buy has been slow in coming, and it's got competition. I found a good overview of the situation here:
