That's really going to depend on what type of UPS you have, and how you have it set up. For the homeplugs to keep working they must all be on a UPS, plus homeplugs are very sensitive to being blocked by cable breaks and other electronics. For example, I have a pair I used between my router and

Does the extension have a surge protector? Those tend to kill any kind of powerline data. I have one on a short (3 ft) plain extension and it works OK. I'd imagine a UPS would kill it. -- radish radish's Profile:

Thanks for all the replies. Not able to continue working during a power outage seems to be the weakest point about Powerline network plugs. Looks like a wireless bridge or pulling another cable are my only choices. (my area on average has a power failure once a week.) -- Honva

Anyone using powerline network adapter? I have a question that no vendor mentioned. If I plug the adapters on a UPS, will it still work? If yes, will it still work during a power outage? (i.e. the adapter getting power from the UPS). Thanks. -- Honva
