The faulty connections is because of signal vs noise ratio where noise (high) - decrease the performance (weaken the signal) & with typical surge protector also add more noise further more decreasing the performance. Not to mention about not sharing power strip - goodness, not practical at all. However I also been looking around for solution for this annoying problems for years and finally found it. They called it "surestreamer". Hi Eddie,

For example, if you will be going the entire stretch of the house like I have to do (our office and my bedroom are on opposite sides of the house) then you may run into some connection difficulties. As long as your house's wiring is relatively modern (I'm not so quite sure ours is, our house is 40-some years old) then you shouldn't really have a problem. Just recently I started getting dropped connections. I solved this by moving to the outlet on the other wall of my bedroom (I had a spare long ethernet cable laying around). The other thing you want to look out for are the things plugged into the same circuit. For example, the reason why just now I started getting faulty connections could be because we brought in some new appliance or electronic device that adds to the interference on that circuit. Really, you shouldn't have any problems with it, because I'm sure you live in a much newer house than I. (And you don't need that connection to span the length of the house!)

But i still really like it. IT is awesome. They are faster then a wifi connection . That is better then mine. I really it. They are awesome.

I don't know how it works and I don't care... but it works like a charm. I’ve been using a powerline kit for about a year now. I don’t know how it works and I don’t care… but it works like a charm.
