Power Line Ethernet

[briefremarks]

I am looking to use power line ethernet between the NAS and XXHE PC.  Does anyone have any experience with SQ and power line ethernet.  I am assuming that there will not be a problem.  The NAS will be in a media closet downstairs, the XXHE PC is upstairs in a part of the house that is not currently wired for ethernet.

I would avoid it.  Tried it once as a stopgap solution and then brought forward plans to wire up the whole house straight away. Was not good in my situation.

Hi,

Since I don't have a real answer and sort of must say the same as Anthony (acg) for theories, I found another way of rejecting it (now I'm rid of the "problem") :

It is unncessary slow.

So notice that we are (or I am) used to 1Gb/s of Ethernet speed. This is raw speed, meaning : reality, because I avoid switches or routers (direct PC-PC (PC-NAS) connection).
At this speed and further proper set up in XXHighEnd of diverse parameters (like the necessity of a RAMDisk) you won't notice speed differences with the Ethernet connection vs the usage of an internal SATAIII-speed HDD (SSD).

Ethernet over Power is at best half of that speed, but count on 10% of it. Now also count on the loading of an album (for Unattended) of 30 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

Problem solved (hence don't do it).
