No one in their right mind would run a company server, desktops over a powerline, but a miner is OK.
If you have 100 miners on the other end, you simply put ckproxy there and it's equivalent to not a lot more than one miner
I ran quite a few miners over the link for years - on the old setup and of course on the (old but newer) faster more reliable setup.
I only have one there at the moment - S5 - coz it's way too loud - the S3s are now upstairs to keep the place warm - it's winter in 2 weeks
My garage miner connection is:
miner - switch - powerline<->powerline - switch - linux router - switch - powerline<->powerline - adls modem - phone line to local exchange
Been running OK for years
but kano, i Like haxn' peoples unsecured powerline networks! i think they should run Everything off it! thats how i can get into their "Nest" (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nest_Labs) box and turn on all their lights and put the heaters on max...
Thank goodness for power/surge protection...just got zapped. Had to restart everything. That happens a lot here in FL.
LIGHTNING
oh gawd.. no magical blue smoke? that protection did its job
ive seen what lightning does to things, even when its miles away.
many many moons ago, had a storm, lightning hit the distribution block. many things like TVs, microwave, power strip, etc. had black points and melted plastics, i think i was only 5 then..
now that im in the business of repairing PCs, every time there is a large storm, 5-6 PSUs i need to replaced around the town
none the less, seeing as lightning kills things, im happy your stuff isn't dead. but replace the surge protector, it may not see you out again, if you are still using it.
