Gadget of the Week!


One of the dilemmas in moving the study up into the attic was going to be what to do about the broadband line. Virgin wanted £100- to move the cable, regardless of the simplicity of the task. Wireless might have worked, but might have been slow or too pricey and this old house already presents a few obstacles to portable phones which might affect wireless networks too. The perfect solution was provided however by the D3 boys. They handed me a couple of the boxes you see pictured left, and explained that they would run the broadband signal upstairs via the existing electrical circuits in the house! It works too, and seems to be really quick. I'm amazed - I didn't even know that was possible to do - never mind so simple.

It seems our whole house is already networked - and I didn't even realise it!
