“I have an outbuilding about 20 feet from my house that does not get any type of reception. If I plug one receiver in my house and the other in the garage do I need to get another router to get WiFi or will the receiver provide a signal?”

First: the outbuilding and the house MUST be on the same circuit breaker panel or this pair will not work. Make sure that the outbuilding does not have its own feed directly from the power company (which would mean that it has its own meter, too). If you are on the same breaker panel... then, yes, you would need a separate WiFi access point for the remote end. This unit provides a wired Ethernet port on the remote end, not a WiFi connection. There are setups that do what you are asking about... they are "WiFi extenders over power line."
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use several Powerlines feeding different zones in my house -- including an outbuilding that's 25' from my main house. The signal travels my main panel through two subpanels feeding 240v before it gets to my shed where it then breaks into two 120v circuits. It's solid as a rock. You don't need to have them on the same circuit. Succes is probably more dependent on the quality of your wiring and your router an access points (which you need in addition to the Powerlines). I use a Ubiquity Amplifi HD router and several old Airport Extremes and airports as access points and they all work well together.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.YES-- IF you want WIFI you would need another device in the garage to provide a WIFI signal, that device would plug into this unit. NOTE: There different versions of this device that DO provide WIFI but this particular unit is hardwire ethernet only. NOTE: Your garage wiring MUST come from the same electrical panel as the part of the unit you plug in inside your home.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Should work - your house wiring is connected to the outbuilding wiring, yes? They are not receivers, really - the units make the signal that travels through the electrical wiring intelligible to the device to be connected. The connection from the router to the first unit is Ethernet, and the connection from the wiring to the second unit’s output is Ethernet. If your device to be connected has an Ethernet port, you can plug the included Ethernet cable into the device from the outbuilding’s unit. If the device has an HDMI port only, there are adapters to allow the Ethernet cable to connect to the device’s HDMI port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No you don’t, as long as you’re hardwired with the adapter in the garage you’re okay
