Hi I read this last week and it may be of interest to you. Scroll down for
the article on power line networking.

Great newsletter BTW for those wanting to know about bleeding edge
technology.

I currently have a small home network based on a PhoneLink system that has
stopped working reliably. I want to change it and was assuming I would go
wireless (Ethernet is out of the question due to the cabling requirements,
etc.).

But then there are the PowerLine options (networking via the house's
electrical system). When last I read about these they were not so reliable,
but like all technology, improvements have undoubtedly been made.

My question: does anyone have hands-on, real-life experience using PowerLine
vs. Wi-Fi in their home networks, and can anyone give me practical advice,
caveats or whatever to help make the decision.

With kind thanks,

Michael
