Most homes have two phase wiring. If they are on the same phase, you will get the best results. You don't want to plug into surge strips, extensions, UPS devices, etc. If you have them on separate phases, they still may work but at reduced transfer rates. From Netgear: Can powerline be used in homes across multiple phases? Yes, but you will either suffer a noticeable loss in performance, or if the signal is too low the units will not be able to communicate.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It may be necessary to get them on the same phase - contiguous breakers are on opposite phases, so worst case, you can get an electrician to re-arrange the circuits to get the ones you need on the same phase, on it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You will lose substantial amounts of throughput but you should be able to have enough to watch streaming movies, webcams, and download anything at a reasonable rate. Nothing close to 1200 Mbps, but it will work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have two circuit breaker boxes with my son's room in the basement on one box and the office where the internet gateway (modem) is on another circuit breaker box. It worked just fine for us. He gets the 45Mbps provided by our internet provider in his room now even though he can't connect to WiFi down there.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It worked for me
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It worked in my house and they are two different rooms/breakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes it will work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a single story home and was using the device in the bedroom and the connect was in the garage and it worked for me
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, provided they lead to the same break box. The further the circuits are apart, the more the signal will attenuate. The only way to know for certain is to try it out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Circuit breakers should not be a problem as long as it is all 1 housewide wire loop.
