Hey guys, I just found out about powerline today and I was wondering if there were any bandwidth issues and if using powerline will cause any issues with gaming.

For gaming, I would always recommend using Ethernet, but if this isn't an option, and if Wireless is anything less than exceptional, then Powerline is a great option...
