What I have done is plug the EOP into a double adapter and plugged my powerboards into the second interface this seems to satisfy all the power devices needs. I’ve heard various reports on how much this degrades speed and performance of the EOP also when the board has surge protection can also interfere with performance. But as we know wall outlets are not exactly in abundance and most of us plug in a powerboard with a million extensions and the piggyback that onto another one, etc. The best performance is when EOP is plugged directly into a power outlet in the wall. If speed is low then the issue may be how the EOP device is plugged in. I have found the speeds to be perfectly acceptable for home standards, I have 2 EOPs with one running at 200Mbps and the other at varying rates between 160-180Mbps (on a different circuit), some products give diagnostic tools to measure your transfer rate – its way faster than wireless so no issues there. There are some caveats, speed, powerpoint wall outlets and encryption. I put one of these plugs in a regular powerboard in the kids room to get the xbox 360 online and it works seemlessly. You can mix and match as many EOP plugs in any rooms. ![]() ![]() Typically you will need one plug that goes into a router – in my case I have a wireless/modem/router all in one, the ethernet cable from the EOP plug goes into one of the switched ports on the router to bring the router onto the network and in another room an ethernet cable from a 2nd EOP plug goes into a switch which has other devices connected to it – now all devices can connect wirelessly! You can use an EOP plug in any room and from that plug the ethernet cable directly into a device or a switch to further extend the network and all devices communicate as if on a wired network. – No ethernet cables going from room to room! The concept basically is to turn your electrical circuits in your home into a fully fledged ethernet network without ethernet cables but to have the packets of data transmitted over the powerline itself, all you need to get those packets into your computer/router/switch/media hub is a minimum of 2 EOP plugs which plug directly in your power sockets in the wall and from those EOP plugs a ethernet cable plugs into your devices.
