Thinking of getting homeplugs but..

Paradigm · 2016-09-17 13:49:20

I need to install one downstairs connected to the router & the other upstairs for the boys xbox to stop him sucking the life out of the wifi. Upstairs has a different "trip" on the breaker box than downstairs so I'm thinking they are different circuits... if so homeplugs wouldn't work would they?

A quick update...

Adaptors still working fine, no dropped connections...

I recently bought an Amazon firestick which worked on & off as the wireless signal was pretty weak so I invested in a Powerline wi-fi kit.
Plugged the wi-fi adaptor into a socket in the living room & it's like magic, pretty much perfect with hardly any work at all

For what they cost I'd recommend trying them if you have any connection issues.

Always try to be at least half the person your dog thinks you are!
