Using powerine adapters across two separate power rings

[DouglasF]

Hi
I am looking for some assistance in trying to use powerline adapters in my house.

The house has two separate mains rings.
One in the original house and a separate one in an extension.
I am trying to get connectivity around the whole building.
I have my adsl router plugged into the house ring, and I have a separate network switch plugged into the extension ring mains. these two devices are linked with an ethernet cable.
I have plugged a powerline adapter into the switch in the extension, and it allows me to use powerline devices throughout the extension.
Separately I have connected a powerline adapter to my router in the main house, and it allows me to use powerline in the main house.
However if i connect a powerline device to the router and additionally to the switch, I get no connection at all , and my internet connection does not work.

Is it possible for powerline adpaters to be configured to allow this to work, or can I use them in only one of the locations (i.e. the house or the extension, but not both)

Any help would be appreciated.

It has to be on same circuit.

It will not work going to work with two different circuit 🙂

Thanks for the response.
I will just have to switch them on separately.
So I can use powerline in one side of the house or the other.
But unfortunately not both at the same time. 😞

If you are able to connect pair on each circuit and you can connect router then that is fine.

Hi
Can you clarify, your last response.

If I connect one pair on the ring in the extension (connected to switch)
and one pair on the ring in the house (connected to router) , it does not work.

Thanks

That would not work.

You need physically connect both pair on EACH circuit separately, bldg1 & bldg2

ethernet cable from BOTH bldg can connect to main router then it will work.
