If you connect a wireless router to the current LAN (to the Powerline adapter as well), you should configure/connect the router as an access point, there is info on how to do that on the main site here: http://www.speedguide.net/articles/how-to-set-a-wireless-router-as-an-access-point-2556

Do you play on a stick or a pad? Are you waiting for PS4 "NEO" or have you not purchased a Playstation 4 at all yet? What is wrong with the Xbox One?

So after being satisfied with the Powerline Adapter, I recommended my friend to purchase the same device. He does not want to spend additional money on buying the version that comes with wireless, thus asked me if it is possible to connect a wireless router to the Powerline Adapter that is in the ...

So I bought a newer model that also came with a wireless function and have been using the adapter throughout the weekend. It's been truly great for gaming, and due to the fact that it came with two ethernet outputs, I could connect both consoles directly. I did not run into disconnection problems ...

Good news for us :)

Sister's boyfriend had a Powerline Adapter we could borrow in order to test if it worked. It absolutely did the trick! There was one time that we experienced a disconnect like you mentioned, but we used it for many hours and were very pleased :)
I will buy a newer, more updated ...

This thread needs to be ressurected :)
Especially after this year's E3 and the announcement of Xbox One "Scorpio" and the confirmation of the Playstation 4 "Neo".

Are there anyone who currently only owns one of the consoles but are now ready to purchase the other? If so, which console and for ...

I remember some had problems automatically disconnecting at times, etc.

Hi Philip. Thanks for the advice. I had a look in some of the local stores this weekend where they had multiple brands to choose from. I ended up not being able to decide on what to buy... Do you remember which brands were ...

I can tell you from personal experience...I used one myself for years.
May I ask if your response is specifically related to fighting games? Meaning we can confidently use the Powerline Adapter without having to worry if hooking up directly through ethernet cable is better?

So for this sounds ...

Will a Powerline Adapter work for fighting games?

We have a decent router which unfortunately is placed too far away from my room, so using an ethernet cable to connect to my console isn't ideal. Being particularly sensitive to frames, Fighting games should be played wired, so the current wireless condition is holding both players back with the ...

I used the Linksys/Cisco e3000 for many years. It supports flashing some 3rd party firmware to give you excellent QoS features. I ran Tomato firmware on mine.

Thanks YeOldeStonecate :) So the router has the ability through a 3rd party firmware to add such a function? We are borrowing the router ...

Hi everyone,

My little sister is constantly streaming mtv when I play games that require a good connection. It is pretty irritating, so I was wondering if it would be possible to control the bandwidth she is using, by perhaps only allocating a certain amount that is enough for her streaming?

Hey guys,

Although it is a bit of a hassle getting the old consoles out, I tend to get back to the following games:

Super Nintendo: Super Bomberman
Playstation: Parappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy
