thank you for your reply
sorry i do not fully understande your comment.
when you say that not all things can vork outside of the manin lan. what do yopu mean?
Powerline devices

Smart wchices
my main question was rerlated to :your opiion on your powerline devices and how i should devign my network
with 1 poerline for the main network 192.168.1.x
ad 1 powerline for the vlans
In this case my question to you would be can i install the 2 powerlines in e seperate power soklets?
can i seggregate my netwrk in wach roomsand by pairing the powerlines in each room to one of the 2 powelines above?
can your devices allow this
or can i do with all with 1 powerline connecto to a smart switch and all powerlines are pairred to this one and it will carry 192.168.1.x and the vlans?
