So, my garage is separated from my house (there's another house between my garage and my house). I have a car that has it's own WiFi signal (for configuring settings on the car, not for internet access).

 

Anyway, long story short, I have setup a separate network because the Car WiFi won't reach my house so I've extended it to an AP in my house, via powerline adapters because even though I questioned my Dad saying "are you sure you don't want to run an Ethernet cable, just in case". This network is completed separated from my actual network because the car is an OP DHCP server that takes over anything that is connected. (this whole setup somehow works btw)

 

The Car Wifi Setup:

 

         Garage                                           House

Car -> AP -> Powerline ----  Powerline -> AP <- Smartphone

 

My question is, would I be able to essentially have 2 networks running over the powerline adapter - using virtual LANs or something I guess. So I can keep a separate AP in my house for the car wifi (and keep that network completely separate to my main network) but then also have access to my home network in the garage? 

 

I hope that makes sense? Let me know if you need more info. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Reece
