Improving powerline coverage by adding additional adapter

Improving powerline coverage by adding additional adapter

I need to connect two points situated at a distance not supported by a couple of powerline adapters. Would, adding an additional powerline adapter in the middle, extend coverage?

 

Thanks

Unlikely. Powerline relies on having a direct wired link between the source plug, the one next to the router, and the destination plug.

 

But what does this mean?

I have to connect point A with point B. Point A and point B are more than 200m far from each other and powerline adapters can't connect. I have plug C in the middle. Would, adding a third adapter in the middle (point C), allow comunication between point A and B?

Unlikely. Plugs do not act as repeaters.

 

200 metres is a long stretch for Powerline, or any other "extender" technology, including wifi. It might even push an Ethernet cable.

 

Are these sockets even on the same mains loop?
