[QUOTE="MrCrabs, post: 873800, member: 101491"] Depends on your idea of a network and of your networking philosophy. As W-LAN is nice since you have LAN without any calbes it's good, but for desktops or htpc it is not quite matching. I would use a cabled solution for all computers which are not going to be moved. So a powerline adapter is a good idea if you can't pull any cable. Using an extender will only get you a better performance if the problem might be due to a too far distance. If you get the problem because you got walls which are too thick then the extender will have the same problems. So my opinion: Use cable where possible use W-LAN where you can't get any cable or where you need the mobility. [/QUOTE]
