Coax Network.

The poor CAT5e/CAT6 cables can not get a brake.

We have Wireless. HPNA, Powerline.

And now this, http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...hecontro&linkCode=as2&*****&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001N85NMI

The price of course too High, but if it provides good HD streaming it might be a viable one time solution for HTPC type of systems.

Is the 270Mbps shared amongst all outlets?

I'd read of these a year or two ago. I'd love to have a couple of these, having found HPNA to be troublesome and slow and WiFi too slow for my needs. I don't have an attic or a basement, leaving CAT5 cable across my roof as my solution for the past twelve years. But I have lots of pre-installed cable TV wiring.

The Device is Not yet on market, thus I would not count on marketing stories.

It would need strong encryption otherwise you would share your Network with the Building/Neighborhood Node. I.e. the 270 would end up with much lower functional "Speed".

Basically it would work as Power line but without the need of heavy filtering, thus would provide faster more stable signal than Power line.

However if Netgear did not Sc** Up, and the price would settled down below $100, a device like this has much more potential than HPNA or Power Line.

Sure, but if this thing can really stream HD and whatnot why not just disconnect most of the COAX jacks on your house from the outside world? You only need one or two 'live' jacks for a modem and DVR possibly, the rest can only be internal.

I'm wondering why Verizon doesn't just make coax adapters and lease/sell them to their Fios customers. They're already running their STB's over coax, including their internet access for guide listings. Not too big a step to brand up some adapters and tell their customers who have poor wireless experience that they can just slap these into their computers to take full advantage of the bandwidth.

I know these would certainly make my life easier.

Don't even know there is such thing. If it really works, even at 100Mbps, it's definitely way better than poor Wi-Fi and powerline.

Thought coax networking was dead
