Wireless VU+duo

The forum rules are your first post should be an introduction, please post an introduction in the introductions section, before your question is answered.

I use a homeplug to connect my vu duo and it has been working fine for over a year now.

Using homeplugs here too with no problems.

WiFi would not cause you any problems, home plugs, compatble dongle etc

however, I don't think a telephone line would be much help as you would need another modem/router if you planned to connect it directly to internet.

Very good advice

I have used the vonets wifi bridge several times for aorund £15 ebay.
they don't seem to work great or at all on modems that use the N type only B,G, B/G
and very easy setup..

I use 2x vonets wifi bridge in my mother’s house & find that they can freeze and they are a bit glitchy. I have looked into homeplugs also but I am now thinking of just wiring the house with 2 Ethernet ports to avoid all kinds of bridges.

I know this is a bit of work but it will just make life so much easier in the long run. I have been driven mad running internet connectivity monitors and what not to try and identify the problems and I have come to the conclusion that the only weak link in the setup is the vonets wifi bridge. They are a great piece of kit but they are just not 100% rock solid & that is what we are all after to make our lives a little easier.

I have tested Wired DM500 & vonets wifi bridge DM500 side by side for days and the results are clear to see. I would love to think the home plug would save me all the hassle of running wires through the attic but from what I have read the signal loss is huge and the best of them make massive exaggerations on their speeds & quality. I would be very interested to know what make n model of homeplug you use shamonemf..
