Adaptors used for both IPTV and Internet
Hi everyone,
I am thinking of using 4 adaptors to do following
1) Room 1 - Connect Adaptor 1 with RJ45 cable to ISP socket and then to mains
2) Living Room: Connect 2nd adaptor to main and with RJ45 cable to IPTV tuner from ISP.
3) Room 2 with second ISP cable socket connected to a Router: Connect adaptor to Port 1 of the Router and then to main
4) Various rooms: Connect adaptor 4 to Mains to any location and use the RJ45 cable for Internet access
The question I have: will this create some conflict to adaptors in Points 2 and 4 above? The way I see, they are all in one network and the adaptors in location 2 and 4 would be getting both IPTV (from Room 1) as well as Internet access (from room 2) to share.
Is the answer to split this network into two parts - one for Media, with only 2 adaptors that recognise each other; and the other for Internet acess, with the other 2 adaptors? (and I assume that these networks should not mix at all)
Am I on the right track? any idea how this is done and how could Media be prioritised over Internet access?

- You only need single power line device and all remote should connect to those
- so what you are saying is that I should use the Powerline for only one service - either IPTV or Data?
There is no way to have it for both? - NO.
installation only needs one power line device hooked to router and rest of one than one will connect to main power line device - Maybe I did not explain clearly why I think there might be a problem.
In one room, the Powerline adaptor 1 will be used to connect to an ISP socket to carry IPTV to the living room, where adaptor 2 will connect to the TV
In the second room, Adaptor 3 will be used to connect to the router and then adaptor 4 will be useed freely around the house.
So given that adaptor 1 is carrying an IPTV stream and adaptor 3 is carrying L2TP-based Internet access - I do not see how adaptor 2 should KNOW that is connected specifically to adaptor 1 (for IPTV) instead of adaptor 3 (for Internet access)?
The same goes for adaptor 4: how will it know that it should only look to adaptor 3 for Internet access and not to adaptor 1 for IPTV stream?
It is almost as if 1-2 need to be paired permanently; then 3 and 4 need to be paired permanently.
Or does your answer mean that adaptors are somehow "clever enough" to know where to look at?
Thanks for your patience and time
LT - Power line device must be behind the router so not sure when you say IPTV goes to socket which means without the router then will not work.
- I can assure you - it is working just fine without being connected to a router. :-)

Maybe I should clarify the setup a bit:
Within the flat, there are two ISP sockets with an RJ45 input.
To connect my double play service, all I need is activation of these two sockets. Then the ISP provides an IPTV tuner and that is it.
In principle, without any additional equipment:
Room 1 ISP socket with CAT cable to IPTV tuner gives me IPTV in the living room.
What I did to get rid of the cable between the two rooms - I plugged a XAV5601 to the mains and connected the ISP socket to the GiGe Port. Then in the living room, second XAVB5601 with RJ45 cable then connected to the IPTV Tuner. No router between the ISP socket and the powerline adaptor and it works fine.
Room 2 ISP socket with CAT cable gives me a L2TP-based Internet connection.
All I have done here is install a typical ASUS RTN56U router.LT1511 wrote: I can assure you - it is working just fine without being connected to a router. :-)
if the socket hands out private IP then yes it will workjmizoguchi wrote: if the socket hands out private IP then yes it will work
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:)- I think I'm missing about to out let.
Are they are on same single broadband service terminated somewhere?
I think most IPTV has router that provides IPTV behind and internet by the provider router ..
