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.
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?
It comes from the main fuse box. Each circuit has its own trip switch. eg. lights, powerpoints and the shed is marked on as Garage.
Looks good.
I have a similar arrangement, but mine comes with an added hurdle, an extra fuse box in the "garage". I do see a drop in speed in the garage, but at 71Mbps (Infinity?) it should still be a decent connection. I don't use mine in anger, as I have another phone line in the office, but it should still stream the BBC if I wanted.
The only proviso is that it all depends on the electrics.
