Powerline EthernetInspired by the TechBuilder recipe on ethernet-over-powerline networking, I finally got around to networking my nascent basement-office and wireless-less Mac iBook. Quoting myself from the TechBuilder forums: "I picked up two SMC Networks EZ Connect Powerline to Ethernet Adapters ($50 apiece). In a matter of an hour, I was able to quickly get online with my older non-wireless Mac iBook. Response feels just about as quick as the ethernet-direct-cabled pc's in my house, and I been able to plug in and get signal on any outlet I've tried yet. The most time consuming part was figuring out that I didn't have to install any software on the iBook at all. (The second most time consuming part was finding a live port on my switch, but that's another story.) " Posted by Joe Caponi at 11:41 AM, April 28, 2006 This is a public forum.
