Gen x absolutely were parents at the beginning of the internet. The earlier gen X were in their 20's when the world wide web was demonstrated so were the parents of the first children who were born into it.
This applies to any age group though so I don't understand why you are pointing the finger in a particular direction. It's not really helpful or insightful in the context of the thread.
Well my upstairs and downstairs are on different breakers but I am in UK.
From what I read at the time was that as long as the whole system is part of the same consumer unit then everything would be ok.
I have a pair to get from one side of the room to another then one in each of the bedrooms for my wife and myself with no detriment.
I suppose the sensible advice would be for everyone who is interested to give it a go. It has been running without issue for me for nearly two years now.
Thanks for the explanation much appreciated
