WIFI Extender & Powerline Adapters
Options

My parents and I own two houses next doot to each other and currently in my parents house I pay for Fibre Optic BB / phone line. Wifi in this house is perfect everywhere. In my house I dont have phone line or BB and previously have been using a Wifi Extender which does the job for WIFI in my house, however I have recently got a PS4 and it has WIFI connection issues.
I was wondering if it is possible to connect a Powerline Adapter to the Wifi Extender and one to the PS4 to create a "wired" connection in my house (given that the actua router is next door) Would this work?
Any Advise will be greatly appreciated
I guess the obvious alternative is to get seperate Wifi only for my house but does any one do "just WIFI" without the need of a phone line (other than Virgin)

The best option would be to run an Ethernet cable to the house next door, long cables are available very cheaply.
Powerline may work but only if both properties are on the same phase of electricity and neighbouring properties rarely are on the same phase.
You should first try to resolve your PS4 wireless connection problems.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
It's technically a breach of the T&C's to share the service across 2 properties: *just saying*.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
