It would also be interesting to know if powerline leakage can occur?

There are various distance limits quoted. It mainly depends where the transformers are I guess. How many of your neighbours house networks can you see? There are various distance limits quoted.

This also seems to be the case for your NetGear: "Whilst HomePlug AV is incompatible with HomePlug 1.0, it will co-exist with 1.0". I am curious what they mean by co-exist :) Does this mean they can be set to use 56-bit DES? Clement, I noticed with some devices that those using > 85Mg did not comply with the v1.0 standard.

The latest NetGear adaptors now run at 200 MBPS instead of the old 85 MBPS or 12 MBPS. I have just bought a pair of HDX 101 and will do more fiddling with it in the weeks to come. The netgear supports 3DES and DES. Netgear uses 128 Bits Encryption on their device. Yes, they do have a default password as well. It must be changed or else just like having none. There are other models today that uses AES with a key of 128 bits. See: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=3835 take care Clement Good day,
