If the devices ship with common default passwords, you should change them, following the instructions in the manual.

The pair may be hard-wired with a unique password to talk to one another. There’s a receiver plug that connects to your local device. There’s a sender, which you connect to your router via an Ethernet cable and RJ-45 socket. HomePlug networks are usually sold with two paired devices. HomePlug AV includes 128-bit encryption, in case your mains signals stray onto next door’s wiring. This should provide much better throughput. The latest AV2 HomePlugs offer MIMO (multiple input multiple output) operation instead of SISO (single input single output).
The first HomePlugs were shipped in 2001, and the latest versions are HomePlug AV (2005) and AV2 (2012). The system is overseen by the HomePlug Alliance, which is much like the Wi-Fi Alliance that looks after Wi-Fi. HomePlug was developed to send broadband internet traffic across a home’s – or an office’s – mains electricity cables. Cat6A can deliver 10 gigabits per second over 100 metres of Ethernet cable, which would solve the speed problem for the foreseeable future.įailing that, the best answer is HomePlug, which is what I use.
In the old days, before DECT and mobile phones, many people had wires running to landline phones, and it’s still not that hard to do with bulkier Cat5E (E for “enhanced”) or Cat6 cable. Wi-Fi is never as fast, and never as reliable, as a wired internet connection. Will Google’s Wi-Fi mesh routers be the solution, and if so, do you know of any routers like that that can be bought in the UK? Stephen
I found that if I placed them where they got a strong enough signal, they didn’t actually extend the signal much further. In the past, I’ve tried Wi-Fi extenders from Netgear and Belkin but not had much luck with them. Unfortunately, my computer is struggling to pick-up the Wi-Fi signal. I’ve just switched from slow ADSL broadband, where the router was outside my office, to fast Virgin broadband, where the router is on the other side of the house.
