Mains Network Adapters anyone?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PYG0)
Has anyone experience of putting more than one pair of these adapters in the same house?
I have purchased 2 (secondhand) pairs of these for home use. The seller had no cat5 cables for them, so he threw in a 3rd pair instead. I should mention that the earliest wiring in my house had a fuseboard, and 'ring mains' for sockets upstairs, and another for downstairs. My router is on the downstairs ring main.
The first pair went in (on the downstairs ring main), and work well. I'm having difficulty getting a second pair to work. The second has to go from one ring main through the fuseboard to the other ring main. Will this work? will 2 pairs work in the same house?
I have 3 different pairs from 3 different manufacturers with different bandwidths. I am presuming higher bandwidth implies higher carrier frequency, but I only want two pairs to actually work for me.
One pair appears to work very slowly, and another not at all. But the situation is complicated by senile mains adapters and my physical handicap, so I'm intending to fix the mains issues first.
What I'd like is 'seat of the pants' type general guidance to assist me and prevent me attempting the impossible.

- Will more than one pair of adapters work on the same fuseboard?
- Do network signals travel through the fuseboard (one ring main to the other)?
- Are the high-bandwidth or low-bandwidth ones more robust?
