Powerline Ethernet connection affected by power outage.
Powerline Ethernet connection affected by power outage.
Reject the idea of using AC power for powerline adapters. Opt for A/C power instead. For sending signals, connect through the AC wave unless both adapters are on the same UPS, then simply plug in an Ethernet cable.
Powerline isn't compatible with a UPS since the device will block the electricity. The adapters also rely on standard wall power to operate. I don't know of any powerline solutions that support external sources; this seems like a rare scenario. Even if possible, it's probably not cheap. It might be wiser to use Ethernet or invest in quality routers that can serve as a bridge.
Thanks for letting me know guys. I have another question that is related to this. Is there such a switch that can allow to ethernet inputs( one from powerline & one from a air bridge router). I want one input to always be preferred but to switch as soon as one fails (i.e. power outage for powerline as router would have UPS)
It resembles Link Aggregation (LAG) technology. Modern managed switches support this feature. I have a few affordable units that perform well and include this capability: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00K4DS5KU. I'm unsure how effective it will be compared to other conversions nearby, but for optimal performance, purchasing two and placing one at each end of the airbridge or powerline would be ideal.
You're confirming the details. It seems the question relates to a WAN failover setup, likely involving a dual or multi-WAN router for better management.
