ADSL through powerline homeplug
Is it possible to take the Internet cable from an ADSL filter straight in to an Ethernet homeplug with some sort of plug adaptor? Then have the ADSL router on the other homeplug.
It is to avoid having two routers if possible |

Re: ADSL through powerline homeplug
I don't think so, but I'm not sure why you'd need to. I have my modem going into my router, my router going into a switch, the switch going into home plug and then loads of devices plugged into other homeplug (via switch).

It's not what it's designed for but if you were to get a cable that switches RJ14-RJ45 and another back the other way there's a possibility it would work. I wouldn't hold your breath though, Ethernet allows packets of data to arrive at different times and be reassembled in the correct order, the ADSL signal has to arrive in synch with the far end so it would likely cause problems, Amadeus' solution is a far better one (although the way he's phrased it sounds overly complicated). If you have power by your phone line simply take an ethernet cable out of the modem and into the homeplug then another one out of the far end and into a switch/hub/router (whatever you want to call it) and then off to your devices. Routers take very little power to run (the BT hub about £11-15 a year) and are designed to work in this way. Last edited by Spank86; 10-12-14 at 12:41 PM. |

Fair enough. It's because the main phone line is in my bedroom and I'd rather not have a router ticking and flashing if I can help it.

Cover the lights with a bit of paper?

Re: ADSL through powerline homeplug
Although it's not recommended, you can run the router off another phone socket, rather than the main one
you'll see perhaps a little loss of speed, but nothing huge. |

Re: ADSL through powerline homeplug
Use a long ADSL lead and run it into another room?

Do you have other phone sockets in the house? If so it could be possible to make one of those the main socket if you've basic wiring skills and your cabling has 3 twisted pairs (6 cores). |

Only one phone socket unfortunately and laminate flooring so don't want to be tripping on cables.
