Dlan Ethernet

My computer guy has suggested DLan Ethernet boxes to replace my current wifi router. This system lets you use the power sockets as the broadband network for the whole house.  
Would this be ok or would I be better off with wired modem in each room I need to use a computer?

Again, any thoughts would be welcome,
Lucy

That sounds like a TERRIBLE idea... high frequencies travelling on high
voltage power lines (shudder).

If you can get away with one modem, a router, and ethernet cables, I think
that would be best.

Hello,

sure those computer guys do such a suggestion.
Less wires to install.

But it is a vey bad idea.

Depending on the type of dLan plugin, one can have frequencies up to 300 MHz floating on all wirings in your house.

The old-fashioned electricity meter with the rotary wheel may act as some sort of filter, so it does less flow to youyr neighbours, but the newer ones impose much less inductive impedance, so the signals may travel trough more easily.

No, the best way still is cabling.

And you may use a glue gun for installing the cables, because many women are allergic to loose cables!

Of course, anyone with DSL high-speed internet has high frequencies on
all of the telephone wires in their house. And anyone with cable high-speed
internet has high frequencies on all of the cable TV wires in their house.
Although these are both lower voltage than the power lines in your house.

I have measured small dLan plugins in a housein Gent Belgium.

When measuring the *dirty power* in the mains electricity net, from 1 Hz up to 20 MHz, I was flabbergasted with the many peaks I registered over the total frequency range.
So, not one frequency, but many, many spikes, up to 20 MHz visible on my spectrum analyser.

Hi again, Lucy,
 
Yes, I agree with Marc about the Dlan Ethernet being a bad idea.  I have a DSL modem box with just an ethernet cable.  It requires no broadband.  I unplug it and all the modem's connections--to the phone line, to the computer, and to the electric outlet--every time I am done online.  That way, I have nothing radiating onto my house current or into my room.  I removed my broadband cards, so I have nothing catching attracting wifi and radiating from my laptop, either.
 
Hope you find something which helps you,
Diane/Evie
