Powerline Turbo
Are the any limitations to the "power-line" or "mains electrics" type Networking devices?
I have been looking at this type of networking device and I was wondering what, if any, "cons" there were to using them.

Do you have to unplug any electrical's ? Do they work in all homes? Are they fast and do they become slower if you have more electrical's plugged in? can you plug them into 4 way adapters and power surge protectors?
And last of all would you recommend them?
Thanks, Ben.
It's only 85mbps, which isn't too bad, but is pretty slow now that Wireless N and Gigabit routers are out, which give 1000mbps
You would be able to plug it into a surge protector and the number of electrical appliances plugged in won't change anything,
I would suggest using a cat5 Ethernet cable with a N Gigabit router.
