The router is connected to a power strip.
You can connect your router and powerline using a power strip, but it might affect your Wi-Fi performance. The power strip could introduce additional network traffic, potentially slowing down your connection. Consider placing the power strip away from the router or using a dedicated network setup for better results.
It could function in theory, but I believe there could be some interference and a reduction in quality if the power strip isn't quality. Have you considered using wireless range extenders? They perform significantly better than powerline connections in speed and dependability. A mesh network might offer even greater performance.
Powerline works best when your home has top-notch wiring, otherwise it’s better to consider alternatives instead of spending on a good wireless router.
I don't have access to your router's details. Could you provide more information or check your device settings?
Is your internet service provider offering support for additional routers? If yes, you might find a reliable router for around thirty dollars, which could help address your concerns based on the size of your home.
For those who prefer Powerline, there are adapters with a visible plug, ensuring you don’t miss an available outlet.
