Devolo dLAN Wireless Extender -54 Mbps over Wireless LAN Options
      #388708 - Tue Mar 18 2008 02:14 PM

Quick question, both my PS3 & Wii are out of signal range of my wireless network which is primarily set-up for my 360 and laptops etc.

I have been using a Devolo HomePlug adapter with Ethernet interface for my Wii transfering the broadband over the existing household power supply this works fine for my limited Wii on line use. But now I have a PS3 in the same location I wondered if the Wireless extender (see linky) would be a good purchase. So I don't have to keep swapping the ethernet between PS3 & Wii.

Is the 54 Mbps over Wireless LAN adequate for on line PS3 play and the likes of Wii Mario Kart??

LINKY

or would this be the cheaper solution for my existing Devolo plug.

Splitter

Just get a splitter and run two Ethernet cables from it to my PS3 & Wii.

Do you have all the requirements to use a splitter? i.e.

* These MUST be used in pairs.
* These are intended for data transmission and not for voice.
* They are not suitable for telephones or for sharing a broadband connection.
* Only for use with patch panels & faceplates.

I presume not.

Can't tell you about the Devolo.

Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.

Yes you were correct the splitter was a waste of time, I've opted to purchase a
LINKY

Should do the trick.
