| 1445033 | 2018-01-18 21:30:00 | Hi All. Because the internet is crap in this rest home, I have been looking at The TP Power link. signal travels thro' the mains power point wiring. This would be ok in a privaate house as there is only a one phase supply into the house. The rest homw would have 3 phase supply. I assumethat the seding part & he recieving part mus me on the same phase. The power points must be on the same phase & not on two phases. Yes? Thanks. PJ |

| 1445035 | 2018-01-18 22:49:00 | Yes on the same phase. It can be done on different phases with a phase coupler, apparently. here is an example, not sure if it is suitable though. www.kemo-electronic.de I imagine the rest home would need to get an electrician to install it, if it is legal in NZ. Are you certain that the router and your room are on different phases? |

If you get one that has built in wifi (on the slave end) , that gives you some more options . |

If the fuseboards downstairs & upstairs are correctly labelled it would help a lot. PJ |

If you get one that has built in wifi (on the slave end) , that gives you some more options . Yes I am aware of the electrical noise problem. As I have said before. the Modem/Router is in small room downstairs. The router is inside a metal box on the bottom of it there is another gadget above it. Along the same wall is the incoming & distribution of phone lines, also the fire alarm board & the call a nurse system. I would think a lot of noise in that room. The building is poured concrete reinforced. The floor/ceiling would be long slabs. Bit of a problem eh? PJ |

If there is then I would look to attach a wifi repeater at that point. To install anything in the switching room/PABX room would require out$ide contactor$. Alternatively - is there any other place in the building that has a good strength ethernet signal? I'm thinking in terms of a plug-in box with an aerial that rebroadcasts the ethernet. If there isn't enough signal to suit either of those requirements then maybe it's a definite case to call in the professionals! |
