Powerline Connectivity
Pardon the newby question, I want to use powerline adaptors to connect a youview box to a router. I have a house with an extension and 2 separate consumer units (fitted one above the other) in the old...
Coming in a month late here. I have a similar but first let me answer the first question.
If the two rooms are on different circuits, then powerline will not work.
I have the same arrangement. Here is how I manage it.
In the room with the modem/router a powerline circuit takes a signal to a crappy Edimax (that is a part of my own question) wireless extender. This then broadcasts the wireless.
In the house on a separate mains circuit, I have a Netgear WN2000RPT repeater. This tunes into the the Edimax extender.
The WN2000RPT broadcats in the house and feeds a powerline circuit in the house.
So you can bridge the two buildings with wireless and then use powerline on the separate circuits.
What I want to know is if I can use a Netgear powerline unit to replace the WN2000RPT as the receiver for the Edimax extender and then use the Netgear powerline to add Ethernet to the circuit that now gets fed by the WN2000RPT and its separate non-wireless powerline device.
Ideally, I want to ditch the Edimax and replace it with the WN2000RPT. This would then provide a wireless bridge to the Netgear powerline receiver which then feeds the second mains circuit.
Guess I should draw a diagram to explain what I want.
I will start a separate discussion with this, as there is a good chance that no one is watching this thread any more.
