If you have many homeplugs they can all talk to each other at full speed, presumably 1 homeplug could talk to 5 others without a problem (in theory).
I have 3 home plugs, 2 wireless networks with multiple wireless devices and 3 wired devices. I do not have the problems you describe. I work from home so my network gets a good hammering.roger06 said:Just as a quick update. I've been having terrible problems lately watching catchup TV on YouView (wired ethernet, not home plugs). On reading BT forums there's a suggestion that home plugs inject so much interference into your network it can cripple your broadband.
Sure enough, I removed the home plugs (which were feeding a PC upstairs) and hey presto, problem solved.
I really think these things should be your absolute last resort.
Interesting. I have virgin cable, maybe that is not susceptible to home plug generated interference?roger06 said:Indeed, it's not an absolute... lots of different factors of course.
