It does not get the top of the Home Office (1st floor) plug connected to the router, the outlet, the bottom of the living room (EC) plug into the socket and connected to the receiver - all in Lot ...... Even in my old house ( Year early 60s) there was no problem and worked smoothly and at the first attempt. This system so I can recommend it to anyone who wants to start his Entertain package without annoying Kabelage or expensive wireless technology. The picture quality is indistinguishable from "normal" TV and also I have so far not identified a "bucking". Am satisfied in every respect.
