QuestionAnyone have experience with PL1200s crashing routers? Happens almost every week when I'm gaming. I own a netgear CM600, this is connected to the surge protector, and and my PL1200 is connected to the wall.
Asked 4 years ago by Mark.
- Answer I have not seen it crashing but the through put is not consistent in my case. Although it is not used for gaming but even with routine laptop usage connected to the other end the speed will vary up and down with everything else being about the same in terms of usage ... Not sure that is how these powerline adapters work or is it this model not performing .I did not a good answer from tech support. But then the thing is not broken or stopped either.

QuestionI am installing a Voip phone in my home. My router is on the second floor and my landline is on the lower level. My voip adapter must be hooked up next to the landline phone. Can I setup one adapter to my router and the second near my landline phone?
Asked 4 years ago by Corky.
- Answer For VOIP this should be sufficient. Depending on the distance from one point to another though please see that you get good speed because this will depend on the circuits in a house that will have to be crossed. If it is a same circuit they say the speed is the fastest.

QuestionI want to know if this would work on a desktop computer, work for a medical call center from home
Asked 4 years ago by 56798.
- Answer Yes, this should work for a desktop for remote work. As long as you have an Ethernet connection to plug into the computer. Also, you’ll want to make sure to plug these devices directly into the wall, not any type of extension.

QuestionHow do I use this to get a wireless signal to a TV? None of them have ethernet ports. Are there adapters to buy?
Asked 5 years ago by tam.
- Answer So this wouldnt be the one you'd want for wifi this is for headlining devices. They do have wireless extenders that you basically set up the same way they just boost your wifi in the house. And they work really well I got some for my parents because their modem is downstairs in their house and they are at the opposite end of the house. You do lose some of your speed over distance though .
