Hey everyone. I'm facing an unusual setup. My apartment is a two-story unit with four bedrooms, and I had to install the router and modem in another room. Can a powerline adapter connect properly? I also have my own breaker box inside.

Sure, having one circuit for your apartment should be sufficient.

Discuss what Reddit offers. Test the product, send it back if needed. You mentioned issues with powerline in big homes with multiple breakers.

I tried it, but the Microcenter staff led me to a Wi-Fi card instead of what I needed. Thanks for the assistance.

It varies by location. In the US there are typically 120 phases supplying the main panel. As long as both circuits share the same phase, it should function fine. However, the spacing of adapters and the number of breakers you must run through can impact performance. If outlets are on different phases, it might still work but efficiency could decrease.
