Powerline adapters: is this possible?

I'm basically trying to have a remote client and a 2nd cluster of remote clients on a switch be connected to a remote router.

Seems possible to me.

What equipment are you thinking of using? Are all of the powerline adapters going to be in the same building?

yep it's possible

Possible and do-able.

Is it possible? Yes
Does it work? Yes
Does it work good? Eh..depends.

It really comes down to the quality of wiring and electrical noise. If you are talking about a home, then it can work decently. If you are talking about an apartment/Business then it works a whole lot less good and you are better off going wireless.

its just for some receipt printers so not much bandwidth needed, stability is more important




i have one more question: what if i wanted to add a powerline adapter to the above setup in between the modem and router?

according to this link it is possible to connect a modem and router's wan port with a powerline adapter: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=4006

but in my case, there is already a "powerline connection" between the router and other clients... if possible, how does the powerline adapter differentiate packets from the modem and within the LAN?

I don't think you can have two networks on the same power line system.

The one-to-two should work, and any combo of linkage you mentioned will work. I only have a pair of D-Link DHP-303 200mbps, the actual fastest speed ever was 10MB/s, 4ms latency. Depend on your link, I had to make sure there's no surge protector or long extension cords.

Also, the inside wiring may zoned into different segment, I was restricted between two of the bedrooms and family room, not able to reach the 3rd bdrm nor the living room. I am not sure how to test it but it might be wise to find out how check that before you sink $200 into the adapters.
