Ah okay. I was getting ~16Mbps through the powerline kit from inside the house to the garage. Side by side, I was getting about 30Mbps but that was right on the same mains extension strip.

I'm using 802.11g to bridge it at the moment. I tried 802.11a but whatever is in the walls really attenuates the signal. I really should just drill a little hole somewhere and feed a wire through then not need to worry about it.

Eh. Poorly worded. My bad.
