1441876 2017-11-13 22:32:00 TP-Link make reliable powerline kits
I have one like this below to spare room as I can't run cables in a rental situation

Works well
Also
Bridge mode is not the same as Wireless bridge mode.

Do these powerline devices work ok when the power points are on different spurs or circuits from the power board ?

Yes as long as they are on the same phase, but the more wiring involved the slower they go so the same circuit is better. Most houses are single phase working so they would theoretically work in any power point.
I have used them between the house and the garage with some success as well, and that's separate buildings a few metres apart. Wasn't the fastest though.

I ordered the adapters yesterday and they arrived this morning.

First time I’ve done business with PB Tech and won’t be the last. They certainly seem organised.

(It’s nice to be able to give someone praise instead of a bollocking.) :D

Anyway, they’re installed now and things have improved out out sight.

Take a look at this speedtest compared to the one in my post #19

I’m like a dog with two tails. :banana

My thanks everyone who helped out. :thumbs:

And, yes, PBTech are on the ball.
