Will powerline networking work?
Just wondering if anyone knows if these will work in my apartment. I share a modem and wifi with the downstairs neighbors. The setup is in their apartment. We are in the same house just seperated into upstairs and downstairs apartments. The reason I am not sure if it will work is because we have seperate electricity bills so I figure our electrical lines may be seperate. Haven't actually asked my landlord but just wondering if anyone here would have some insight?
Thanks,
Josh
Powerline needs an electrical path to transport the signal. Your electrical lines are most likely separate, so unless the signal can cross from your meter to theirs, I doubt it will work.
