| 1441867 | 2017-11-13 04:05:00 | A better option is a powerline kit. Now that's an option I hadn't considered. :thumbs: Any recommendations? :confused: |

Thanks Dave. I take it I plug a cable into a spare Ethernet socket on the Fibre Modem and likewise on my computer? If they work OK they make more sense than cable. Are they all paired on different frequencies a bit like say Garage Doors? |

Not certain about the pairing, but that is how you connect them. 1101's suggestion of the one with WIFI is worth consideration. |

| 1441872 | 2017-11-13 21:14:00 | Update. Well I’ve gone with Dave’s initial suggestion simply because I only have the one delinquent computer and the WiFi suggestion would really be surplus to requirements in my case. Good suggestion though. :thumbs: And for anyone following this thread, and thinking of doing likewise, you can buy the item $25 cheaper at PbTech’s than at Trade Me. ;) My only concern is I hope the Power Separation Filter doesn’t break down. :D |

| 1441873 | 2017-11-13 21:29:00 | If using a powerline kit, plug in direct into the wall, NOT into a surge protecter & preferably not into a multi box plug thingy :-) If plugged into a filter, chances are it wont work. Also they dont work everywhere 100% . 95%(?) of the time are OK, Ive only had a couple of instances where they didnt work , one of those was just a single room it wouldnt work in. |

Well I'll find out shortly . :) The Power Separation Filter I referred to was the one I figure must be built into the Unit itself . I imagine 230v whistling up the Ethernet Cable might not be conducive to good reception . And just for the records I hope I can improve on this! 8408 |
