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...
Unfortunately - there is no way to realistically estimate how a powerline device is going to work in a given environment - you need to get the devices, preferrably from a vendor that will allow a no questions asked return, and test them.
It's also important to be aware that any changes in the electrical environment, not just in your home, but also your neighbors' (any building fed from the same dstribution transformer), can affect the performance of the powerline network.
It's perhaps worth bearing in mind that an ethernet cable is just 0.25in. in diameter and can be run up to 100 metres.
