Looks like it will work with X-10

However, as all us X-10 enthusiasts know, they can be temperamental.

Stuff too expensive to go out on a limb:)

They appear to be discussing an old technology in that link (500kbs not the newer 500Mbs discussed in the WindowsSecrets artical)…Since the posts are from 2007 and 2008 and the White Paper was for HomePlug version 1.0….Perhaps someone using the newer technology, if even available yet, will chime-in.

Still on the fence…….
:rolleyes:

Thanks for the terrific article Becky. I had no idea that there was such a thing as a power line adapter. I have been having some problems with the cordless phone knocking out the wireless so was thinking about going to a dual band router. Do you think the power line adapter would be better? Also, since I already use the power line for some X-10 security, do you know if there would be any overlapping or interference?

I’m in the same boat….I use X10 to control about everything in the house and three outbuildings. I’d also like to know if this will cause a problem. It would be nice if someone could elaborate on the ‘theory of operation’ with the networking devices in this story. I know that X10 power-line modules send data at the ‘zero voltage cross point’ in bursts at 121khz…if memory serves correct. If the networking stuff uses the same technology, then they probably can’t coexist. I’m totally wired for now, but the thought has crossed my mind.
