Internet to other side of house.

[dark_xzyph3r]

Hey guys, I am wondering if this would be possible.. So I currently have a power line adapter going from my router to my room and into my switch then one cable goes to another router for internet to this side of the house and another into my pc and a xbox but my sister also wants internet access to her room (She gets the WiFi signal fine but she wants wired and I am thinking I can just use another power line adapter.. So is it possible to go from the router to my room via power line then go to a switch and then out of the switch into another set of power line adapters to her room? Or would that have interface? I know I could just pick up another adapter of the same brand but I want to manage her traffic usage (as in I would like to use QOS to linmit her bandwidth when downloading games so I can still talk on Skype)

TLDR: I want to have internet go like this {Power line from router > my room switch > separate router for WiFi range > out of switch into another set of adapters > into my sisters bedroom} thanks guys

3 words: Wireless Range Repeaters...

This would be much lower latency and probably higher throughput. I couldn't imagine all the loops you're planning to jump though being worth the effort.

This.

 

If you don't want to fish out a ton of cash for dedicated ones, old routers work fine. There's YT tutorials on how to do it.

And by a ton of cash, we're talking about less than the cost of power line converters.

why don't you just buy another single powerline adapter and put it in her room..they are cheap

I want wired..... No wireless. Wireless on computers suck she games a bit so we want super low latency and WiFi doesn't cut it..

just buy another power line adapter..simplest fix

I would but again I want to use QOS (its built into my switch) and limit her bandwidth since she downloads a lot of stuff and I don't want it to mess with my VOIP phone and I want a lot of bandwidth for my room since I have Skype running most of the time and a VoIP phone with a file server that I can access from the internet..

Tldr basically I just want to be able to restrict her bandwidth and my current router doesn't support that..

I currently get really low latency and having another EoP network shouldn't affect it that much.

what kinda router?

what kinda router?

I don't really know what the name of it is since I am at school right now but it's a generic router from Windstream its their new one

Wireless provides a better latency (which is more important for gaming than any other stat) than power line converters. Period. In no way shape, form, and or fashion could I recommend any power line converter setup and would HIGHLY recommend either a better router, or a wireless range extender.

Umm no... Has practically zero latency compared to wireless... Especially across a house... Plus I get full speed with power line adapters and nothing gets added to my ping when I put it in her room but again I just want to be able to manage her bandwidth and with the router I have I can't even if I wanted to do wireless but wireless IS NOT an option. Plus wireless gets severe latency with 3 laptops and a tablet and 2 phones on it.. Plus I don't really have the money to shell out for dual band routers especially when the ones I have work perfectly fine..

Okay, so since you have powerline adapters already and you aren't willing to spend $50 to upgrade your network, what is this post for? The only time latency will ever be a issue on a wireless connection is if you have interfearance. I personally have 13 clients on my router right now and latency isn't a issue at all. So please do go on about how you're power line adapters are just so amazing.

Just to be fair, if you told us something like "My neighborhood just has too many wireless things going on that it is causing interference," or any other reason that would rule out wifi, then sure I wouldn't be suggesting such thing. But since Wireless N has came out of "Draft" stage wireless speeds are faster than 10/100 LAN speeds AND are often times MUCH in excess of the capabilities of any single internet stream. As a matter of fact, just 2 years ago ASUS demonstrated faster transfer speeds over Wireless AC than via gigabit wired.

My point being, your power line converters DO JUST THAT! They convert the signal of LAN into a higher frequency over the power lines in your house, then they have to be converted back down to normal LAN signals. This will create latency based SOULY on the fact your signal will be traveling over the course of (even in a small home) 200 feet or so. Not including being converted 2 different times.

Quit living in the 90s and grow up and learn some stuff before you start yelling about shit.
