powerline to detached garage
I have a detached garage about 75' from my house and I'm trying to find out if a powerline network would be a good solution to expand my dsl connection since my wifi signal from my router doesnt quite...
I have been installing AV500s since they have come out. One project I did was an Historic Site with eleven buildings. I found out that I could run from 100 to 200 feet (wire feet) and get good connectivity.
If you have with the pump generating to much noise on the line I would install a power-line filter as close to the pump as you can. They are available from an electrical supply house. If your pump 130Vac you can get a plugin filter that goes between the pump and it's outlet. Just make sure you get one rated for your pump's current draw.
Since you are planing on using it in your garage and most electrical codes require the outlets to be GFI protected here is another tip I have used to increase network speed. Plug the Power-line Network adapter in to the garage door circuit since they are not required to be GFI protected. I have found, depending on the GFI manufacture, I can get an extra 25% increase.
Last year we installed six units in a municipal swimming pool pump rooms where there was to much RF interference for their automation control system.
