will NETGEAR PLW1000-100UKS work in my garden shed?
will a NETGEAR PLW1000-100UKS work in my garden office? The office has power from the house but is on a different power circuit from the houses plug circuit. Both circuits are on the same fuse box.

I believe that as long as a physical path is present, your solution should work. I think your larger problem may be attenuation of signal across that distance. Keep in mind, the path the signal has to travel starts at where you adapter is plugged into the netowork and goes to wherever the other adaptor is. you have have to play with it a bit to see any decent amount of speed. Best of luck.

Our shed is about 30 meters from the house and the power runs along a arnoured cable to the shed. Our web speed is download 71.1Mbps upload 18.6Mbps. Do you think it would work and also would it slow down the main box speed in the house?

Should work. I do something similar.
But it will depend on the power supply to the shed. Is it just a spur off the mains in the house? Or are there loads of fuse boxes and trip switches on the line?
