I once had powerline networking which somehow ended up joining my next door neighbour’s powerline network. That was a bizarre evening of trying to work out why my connection was sometimes fine, while other times unusably slow - turns out I was occasionally getting DHCP responses from next door’s router, and unsurprisingly the available bandwidth across RF interference between two power sockets back to back on opposite sides of a wall leaves a lot to be desired.
- tuananh 6y agothat's funny. how did you find out?
