But I've heard conflicting reports about the reliability of the technology (dropped connections etc). Is the technology good enough to provide sound networking in a two up two down house with all the electrical interference one would usually find. And if you know of a great solution, tell me the best way of connecting PC to laptop this way. Difficult one. On the box you get the impression all will work without problem but in reality the range is often nowhere near what the customer is given the impression should be expected. I live in a 1930s brick built bungalow and sometimes struggle to get a signal from two rooms away. If your signal is there then it works well. What may the best solution is to buy USB WiFi adapters as these normally can be moved to get a better signal. Often just moving the device a few feet gets better reception. If you are anywhere near Welwyn Garden City you can pop in to our computer club and see it in action.
