indeed :-)
so now back to the original question - any ideas?
Looking around the web I found some references that the way forward is indeed to create 2 separate pairs of adaptors: one set (lets call them MEDIA) would be used to carry IPTV from Location 1 to the IPTV tuner
and the second pair (lets call them Internet access) would be used for Internet access from Location 2 to anywhere else.
Only one VPN tunnel can be established at any time - so whichever location us used for Internet connection = the other being used for IPTV streaming.
I just do not know how to create 2 such sub-networks of Powerline adaptors as oppsed to a plug-and-play of all 4 adaptors that I am sure would create some conflict (back to the original question: how do the 2 remote adaptors know where they should look towards to? should they look at the room 1 IPTV plug? or should the look into Room 2 to the Internet access? Or both? Complete mess...:eek:)
