You will need the wifi extender version. The standard powerline adapter is wired only.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as the electric/ power circuits are the same, you can use this product to get Ethernet (to whichever power point is connected on the electric circuit) - e.g. if the WiFi router is in the bedroom, one end of the Powerline adapter goes into a power plug near the router (with an Ethernet cable running from the router to the adapter - included). You can take the other adapter to any other room in the house (on the same electric/power circuit) - e.g. smart TV in the basement - and plug it into a power outlet there. Again an Ethernet cable (included) goes from the adapter to the TV, and you will have wired Internet network connection. Note that it is not wireless/wifi but wired connection extension, so the signal is very strong.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.i was in a similar situation. i tried the netgear wifi extender (AC750), but that didn't work, because it would frequently lose signal to the base router. i tried the netgear powerline PL1200 wired extenders, and plugged that into an old wifi router i had (this took some fiddling and very fragile configuration), but this didn't provide very stable service (and it was also quite slow when it worked). what worked best for me was shelling out the big bucks ($270) for the 3-pack of google wifi mesh routers/home system. it was easy to install and configure with the app that walked me through the whole process.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Plug in two of these to receptacles. Better than wiFi for computer and perhaps for phone if there is an adapter for your model phone to connect to ethernet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NETGEAR Powerline adapter worked like magic for me. Plug and play - no drilling, no cables.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.this is the perfect device for that type of barrier...if the power connection is good (no shorts). then you should have no problems improving connections between rooms. Plug and play
