must have been refined somehow as I have had better luck with powerline wifi extenders having two cat5/6 ports than with regular (radio) wifi extenders.
Have you checked for the interference those devices generate?
no, nor have I noticed any off-hand. I seldom play an am/fm radio at home any more. Cannot really say that I still have one. I do in my automobiles but they are not affected in the garage.
Those devices operate at over 100 MHz, which power lines are not designed to carry. While the signal may travel over the cable, power cables do not have the tight twists that CAT 5 or 6 has, to prevent radiation. The signalling rate for 100 Mb and Gb Ethernet is 125 M symbols/second.
and do not appear to cause me any concern. I got the powerline units from amazon and would have immediately returned them if I noticed problems. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
