yes i have mate got a netgear one but its either broken or its just not picking up a dhcp ip address although the lights are on and it seems to be comunicating with each other

[bassethound]

They might need a firmware update had the same issue when i bought some of ebay

[silverfox0786]

I'll try that and report back thanks

[Donnie]

Can you list which dongles you have tried silverfox ?

If not I am sure I have a spare Belkin I can part with.

and then i got 2 dlinks both below verion 3 again doesn't work

[silverfox0786]

no luck basset can't even get them to see on pc it says unidentified network in the network properties

[Donnie]

Can you post the chip type ?

[pooface]

I have a twin pack of homeplugs (well, 3 twin packs actually, 1 unboxed). If you'd be interested, I can check out what value they are. 1 is an 85mbps msi homeplugs, and the other 2 twin packs are devolo 200mbps...

MSI (sorry for link to retailer, but can't find any links on manufacturers site at all):

[silverfox0786]

how do i check the chip type not too sure

[silverfox0786]

@ pooface and @Donnie

considering i spent so much already i prob cant return them i'm hoping not to spend too much so if the price is reasonable then i'll take them. if the price is reasonable then i may have them both as i can make use of them.

[Donnie]

PM me your addy and I will send you an adaptor.

Well, looking around, the msi ones are available for for £40 delivered on ebay, and £50 on amazon. Since these are used, but in perfect condition, I'll offer them for £35 delivered. Obviously will just need to check that they're working again. The devolo ones are much more expensive though, at almost double the cost from what I've seen...

Pooface 30 and you got a deal i'll even pay with either bank transfer or paypal gift

[Sicilian]

Would RM Recorded be ok as a delivery option then? As special will cost too much :p

Or, if you wanna wait until Sic replies back, then I'll wait until then?

[silverfox0786]

if you dont mind waiting then lets see what sic says.

The option of having wireless with out needing a power socket is more apealing

if not RM is fine

[silverfox0786]

does F/W 3.3 work as only 3.0 and 3.1 are confirmed

[pooface]

Just a quick bump to see if Sic's received his wireless card yet? :)

[silverfox0786]

Just to confirm that I've tested them and worked fine here. Comes with a manual and cd, but don't think you will ever need to use them, as I just plugged them in to the power sockets here and they went away working fine. Never used the cd when I tried... I think the cd might just have the security software stuff to "encrypt" them so others can't use your network from the power lines...

[silverfox0786]

Payment has been sent will show up today

[pooface]

Just to confirm, received the money yesterday. Gonna pack up the plugs tomorrow and post :)

[silverfox0786]

no problem pooface


thanks

[pooface]

According to the tracking, it was delivered today... Can you confirm?

Cheers :)

[silverfox0786]

Just as you posted this is was in the middle of testing them and have now come back to post to this thread but you beat me to it

Yes received working perfect will leave feedback

btw i am so happy i managed to browse to my Vu+Duo from the Sumvision MKV i got from Sic and browse to the HDD and actually watch a recorded movie

oh and btw thanks for the spare black bin liner will come in handy :lol3:

[pooface]

lo, glad they're working fine...

As for the bin liner, that's a school speciality. Tried making sure I picked a fresh one that hadn't had any sick in it ;) Hopefully it wasn't a used one that someone put back after washing out :roflmao:

Glad works well :thumbsup:
