Help! Power over lan Confusion

[Silicuda]

Is it possible to use more than two power over powerline adapters?

 

i right now connect my upper floor to my router located on the living room floor via poe however i want to hookup the basement suite too.

 

can i just buy one more unit or these things work in pairs?

 

thanks

You mean powerline adapters? POE is totally different.

Did some quick research and looks like you can add additional adapters http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/network-wifi/set-up-powerline-networking-adaptors-3380482/

You can use multiple Powerline Ethernet adapters, yes. Each specific unit might have a hardcoded limit that it can connect to, but in practice, you can usually use at least a half dozen.

Each adapter is considered a "node" in the network. Different manufacturers have different node limits.

 

Eg with TP-Link:

Cheapo units have a 6 node limit, and then it slowly scales up all the way to the most expensive units which support 254 nodes.

 

Though unless you started VLANing or Subnetting, you'd never reach that upper limit.

Thank you,  pairing zyrtec with the d-link av600 worked out well.

This has been solved.
