[Mattbot2]

Hello,

I have a single socket in the corner of my bedroom, i would like to replace this with a double socket. Can anyone advise me on how i would go about doing this?

Thanks,

Matt

those homeline plugs are rubbish !

run a cat5 cable and be done with it, much better ! lol

that's what I've done all round my house. much better!

hate them stoopid plugs.half of them fail early, and the other half never pair easily. don't use wireless if I can help it.

cant beat good old fashioned cabling.

my whole house is dater cabled up... 48 port patch panel with 40+ outlets across the house in every room.

makes future upgrades a doddle

and lovely gigabit LAN speeds

waste of time for most people

i got wireless n. thats 300mb/s

the fastest internet speed i can get here is 18MB/s = 144mb/s


buy a decent wireless router chaps or run a cat5 (personally id prefer cat5)

true, but wireless connections are not stable at the best of times.

the speed is not to do with my internet speeds, i use the gigabit connection for my home network / LAN.

transfering large files between PC's and my server takes seconds


at work now, its getting more and more common to fit a house out in cat5 or cat6 cabling when renovating.

with more and more gizmos in houses now it makes sense. especially sending HDMI video around the house is simple with data cabling.
