[IRCA] BPL in the home

[WALTER SALMANIW <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I've been to our local Costco and found that they were carrying a BPL home system.  One of our readers responded that he'd like more information about the unit that I found.  Sorry, I misplaced that email (I'm in between homes).  Last night I was back and took down the information from the packaging.  Recall that they use 2 to 28 MHz (yuk!) and that they pass Part 15 FCC guidelines.  It's made in Taiwan and retails for $109.99 here in Canada.  It's called the MegaPlug AV Network Converter kit.  www.actiontec.com  on the box.  Address of Sunnyvale, CA and Made in Taiwan.  200 Mbps Powerline network adapter.  No part number or anything else on the box.  Anyone have any experience with the QRM produced by this unit?  I have no idea why anyone would buy one of these, when there are excellent Wi-Fi routers available (including at Costco) for 1/4 to 1/3 of the price.......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
