amips Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Scenario;- Building 1 is 100+ft long, 20ft wide, runs North-South, only phoneline socket in North wall, so router connected to that, then feeds Powerline homeplugs around the building no problem. I need to get broadband into building 2 across courtyard from S end of B1 (@100ft) but it is on different ring main so homeplugs don't work. How do I do this wirelessly - I have line of sight from window in B1 to window in B2? I guess using things called repeaters?? Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do on the South side of B1-do I ethernet the broadband from a homeplug into a repeater, then from B2 pick up the signal from B1 and ethernet it into another homeplug to feed around B2? No doubt it's simple but never been much into networking especially wirelessly! :o I have the following equipment "spare";- TP-LINK Wireless-N router TL-WR300 TP-LINK Wireless-N access point TL-WA801ND Loadsa 200mbs Hompeplugs Quote Go with your gut feeling-you're usually right!:smile:

amips Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks Ken, but link is for WIRED connection and the gap between the two buildings is a public walkway and entrance to a car park, so cannot put ethernet cable over or under! Quote Go with your gut feeling-you're usually right!:smile:
BeeCeeBee Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 The home plugs will do nothing for you except in the original building. What you need to TRY and I am emphasizing "try" is to run an ethernet cable in the original building to a point closest to the other one. Put a good wireless N router at that point and another at the closest end off the. You will be using the second router as a repeater. There is no guarantee that will work because of factors that we may know nothing about. However that seems to be your best chance. Quote "Familiarity breeds contempt - and children." Mark Twain
