s about powerline adapters
Sorry for the confusion, but I wasn’t able to find a clear response. You can connect your home ISP modem/router to the electrical outlet that some powerline adapters offer, but it might cause interference. Also, whether the adapter needs to be the sole plug on a two-socket outlet isn’t specified—check the adapter’s manual for details. Let me know if you need more help!
Preferably steering clear of a circuit already under heavy use would be best. It should still function, even if it’s not the main source. Usually I haven’t seen many people achieve success with power line adapters—they tend to be unreliable. Good luck!
You possess a single adapter positioned near the router outlet. It must be connected to the router via an ethernet cable. 2. It’s unclear if this was your intention, but your power setup appears adequate and everything functions as expected. 3. It’s usually better to connect directly to an outlet rather than using a power strip. Placing another device in the same double outlet might reduce performance, though this isn’t always true—it depends on your home’s electrical capacity. Perhaps installing a WiFi extender would be beneficial. Powerlines tend to deliver poor speeds and instability; on good days I achieved 3mbps with 50 ping (my plan supports 200mbps), while on bad days it dropped to 0.1mbps and over 999 ping. Most times it hovered between 0.8-1mbps with around 200 ping. This varies greatly based on power quality. If your power is solid, the line should work well. If not, performance could match or exceed distant WiFi. If possible, running a cable to the desired location would be ideal.
