  1. I have tried Powerline before. I wasn't too impressed with the speeds but I could deal. But about 3 months into using it, the devices stopped communicating to each other and would refuse to re connect. Even tried get them to reconnect them using a power point next to each other. These weren't cheap-o brands too, cost me about $200. So i'm not incline to try that experience again anytime soon. Also I am in a unit complex where the switchboard is a fair distance from the unit. Like any other cable, distance will determine the speed and quality of the connection. EDIT: When I used it before it was just a router to client connection... Not this type of set up.
  2. Hey, Im trying to figure out a way (before buying hardware) to connect my IPS connection point in my garage to my router (in my living room). Currently I just have a 20m(ish) Cat5e cable going from the connection point, along the floor, under some doors to the router. Not ideal as I'm forever tripping on it and unjamming it from the door when it gets snagged. Trying to tape it down and running cable through the walls isn't an option (carpet floors and renting) and moving the router also isn't an option as I have a few devices connected to the router via cable and the wireless signal for other devices around the house would suffer. So to fix this I am trying to figure out a way have this cable be wireless. The only idea that I can think which might work is a design something like this. | ISP BOX | ---Cat--- | Wireless Bridge | ) ) ) ( ( ( | Wireless Bridge | ---Cat--- | Main Router | > Wireless Clients ^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^ | > Wired Clients NBN BOX ^ TL-WR802N ^ TL-WR802N ^ RT-AC68U Short Patch cable Wireless signals Short Patch Cable I have used TL-WR802N before and they work well as basically a media converter (wireless to cat or vice versa) when connecting one device to another. And the 300mpbs wireless N connection between the 2 devices is more than enough for my 100d/40u ISP connection. But, I can think of a number of issues I can see with this design which makes me uneasy buying equipment to test it. The main one being I do not think the bridges would act passively as media converters and will try to route the packets weirdly if at all regarding internet traffic. My main router (Asus RT-AC68U) controls my ISP config, DHCP, custom DDNS, Port Fwing, ect. With the bridges I not confident that they will pass all traffic thru. Has anyone got an idea if something like this will work, Or any other idea to how this can be solved?

I thought it would be simple, just use the Apple app to tell the pc to play a video, no keyboard or mouse. But like your video, ever other week I get a call asking "why isnt it working correctly"... Plus with the Shield + remote they can use both Plex AND Netflix. (also you cant get a Chromecasts from Amazon. So next best thing???)
