Dear
I experience a long time connection problems( WIFI). Even those who lived before in this rented house, complained about bad WIFI.
I know many things can be the cause but I want to first try something out (see below)
-----------
current setup of network:
3 power line connectors without a buil in outlet are used.
modem/router in basement (from ISP, router functionality active, wifi disabled). Networkcable in lan port and goes to the 2nd floor in the house , the cable in hidden in the wall (I think in a tube with other cables maybe).
A power line connector is connected in the plug at 2nd floor and the internetcable that comes from the basement is plugged into it.
2 other power line connectors : one in the ground floor and one in the 1st floor.
at ground floor: a acces point (Cisco wap 200 wireless-G ACCESS point with power over ethernet and rangebooster, the power over ethernet is not used) is connected with the power line connector.
at first floor: a router (setup as bridge, Tplink tl-wr841nd) is connected to the other power line connector.
------------
what I want to do is to eliminate the cause, I think it's the cable that is hidden or because the first power line connector is at 2nd floor.
I heard that to long distance for a Power line connector is bad?
is this true?
and that only one lan port of modem/router in basement is used to handle the tp link and cisco, can that be a cause of fallouts?
At this moment it's impossible to drill in the house (rented), that's why I want to test out with other power line connectors.
I will get other power line connectors with build in outlet. I know the speed will be less fast then a PLC without outlet but if the fallouts stops, I'm happy.
Reason I have to get these with build in outlet is because lack of enough wall outlets in first floor. But I can borrow them to test so no cost at this moment.
-------
new setup:
I will use 4 PLC's
I want to use 2 lan ports on the ISPs modem/router in the basement, I hope I will have two wall outlets, or can I plug the second PLC in the build in outlet on the first PLC?
Then how can I setup the pair of PLC's? I want the plc on lan 1 only to communicate with plc on ground floor, and plc on lan2 only communicate with plc on firs floor. Is this possible?
If I cannot find a second wall outlet in the basement, then I will have to try it with only one lan port used. then I only need 3 PLC's with build in outlet.
Can someone confirm that using 1 lan port and letting the tplink and cisco communicate to this one port is not a problem?
Or maybe I have to disable the router functionality on the ISP modem/router and let the tp link do the work? because maybe the ISP MODEM/ROUTER cannot handle the traffic on one lan?
Please can someone help , as I get tired of this.
