Powerline adapters outdoor, water proof?
Hi community,
I want to place a powerline (with WIFI capability built in) just outside my house.
Although there is some kind of roof above it, it will still get wet from the rain.
So I would like to know if the powerline adapters from Netgear are water resistant (at least rain resistant) or not.
I was mainly looking at the "PLW1000".
Thank you for the info.

I have powerline plugs, I would never use them in a location that needs weather proof fittings. That is a whole new area of design for electrical equipment.
Nice idea though. You could out it forward as a product suggestion.
May be possible if a water proof outlet and a weather proof covering to house the unit in other wise I would not as the unit design for the indoor use have air vents and would allow water into the unit.
