Home Networking Over Phone Lines - A Real Option?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

AnandTech takes a look at the new HomePNA 2.0 standard and it's versatility. Is you are looking to network your house or office area, but don't have the time or ability to run CAT-5 cabling, phone line networking may be just what you need. Here's a snip from the review:

As we saw before, the performance of this standard can be noticably higher than the performance of the 11Mbps 802.11b wireless standard, and even faster than 10Mbps Ethernet in most circumstances. HomePNA 2.0 also offers a great upgrade path as it is backwards compatable with all HomePNA 1.0 devices and should be forward compatable with the upcoming "100Mbps" HomePNA 3.0. But it's not really 10 Mbps.

The review also examines the current HomePNA 2.0 hardware options and conducts speed tests. Check it out here.

I've been using HomePNA for a year and a half. Works great.
