  1. That is the right place for new projects. I see what you are thinking with trying to leverage existing subforums/communities but it depends on those communities. When in doubt you can use that main forum and we can always move things around as needed.

  2. I'm not sure that your fork would be welcome in this particular subforum but it should be fine to post in another subforum on this site with a different project name and a shout-out to HFSLIP heritage. We could always move the thread into this subforum later if that is what is agreed upon. Please PM me a link to your new thread so that I can keep an eye on how it is going.

  3. Some apps (like sniffers) will allow you to choose which adapter to use. If that isn't an option, maybe your apps can use a proxy? If so, you could try setting up a proxy that is linked to only one adapter.

    There might be an elegant Win7 solution for this but I can't think of it. Hopefully someone else can!

  4. You can try an alternative firmware like OpenWRT or DD-WRT which have an option to increase the transmission power. A powered booster would certainly help but a different antenna could be effective depending on your situation. For example, if your client is in a certain, fixed location on the other side of a wall then a directional antenna should help. Also, if you are having issues with concrete walls then you should consider lowering the transmission frequency and/or slowing down the speed (from G to B, for example) as that will allow the signal to go further and through more obstacles due to how the energy travels through the medium.

    Remember that the weak link might not be your Access Point but the client. The signals have to travel both ways.

  5. Powerline signals will go as far as the electrical system allows it to go. Things like old wires, surge protectors and breakers will influence this greatly. In general, the signal should go throughout a house so you just need one adapter at each location you need to tap into the powerline signal.

  6. Tracked Tomcat76 down today via Skype. He is doing well and focusing on real life. Doesn't sound like he'll have time for HFSLIP any time soon. I"ll be visiting Belgium in a few weeks and hope to drop in and have lunch with him. Be jealous :)
