Hey guys!

I'm looking for a powerline solution where I can hook up two rooms to the same "router to wall" plug. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't currently use anything that requires a fast local connection (NAS' and the like).
I'm looking to spend a maximum of aurond 130$/100 euros.

Thanks in advance!

You can get one of these TP-LINK AV500 dual kits: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PA511-Powerline-Starter-Kit/dp/B0081FLFQE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1401046869&sr=8-2&keywords=powerline

And then get another one for the other room (you need to link the separate one to the others): http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PA511-Gigabit-Powerline-Adapter/dp/B00CD0JSMG/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y

One of them plugs into the router/ connection line and the others go in the rooms that need the Internet.

Check the rooms don't have any switch boxes on the middle, Powerline can't handle going through switches or voltage transformers.

 

Is cable out of the question? As LarsReviews mentioned, drilling or just using existing cable holes through the wall will make things much simplier. cheaper and with better speeds and reliability.

Unfortunately cable isn't an option, since it's a rented apartment and the idiot who built the building some five years ago didn't think to intergrate it -__-

I already have powerline for my room, but the problem is my mother also needs it, and I my current solution can't handle another unit :/

Just get a switch for each plug?
