I'd last tried power-line ethernet a good 10 years ago, and found the
technology pretty poor. I've got a pretty big house with long power runs
to my breakers for distribution, and I'd see regularly 50% packet loss or
more, which was unusable for watching videos on, as this was to my media
center.

Power line networking is basically wifi over your power. If you have clean
power then it's pretty good. If not it's worse than 3g.

Well, I know someone who is extending his wifi from his office to his house -
WELL over ½ mile, and probably closer to 1 mile. So going next door should be
not an issue, really.
Think Pringles can antennas… On both ends. Not sure what else he uses. I’ll
ask if you need more info.

Wireless is fairly strict, it's usually one client to one wireless
association, even if using a client ethernet bridge inline - they usually
only expect one mac address to pass (not if you have a client wifi bridge

The visual of that is pretty amusing, and yet possible if not awkward.
I mostly include it for creating the means of being able to push a stronger
signal to the endpoint. But it can also lead to an interesting
understanding of what you can do with a wifi signal.
My solution was to purchase the Et
My question is rooted in the fact that I don’t really understand what an
“Access Point” can do — if they can serve as the source of an internet
connection the same way as your cable modem’s internet device. It seems like
they should. But there’s the question of how you log into them and set them
Thanks but you can’t hook Pringle cans to things like Fire TV Sticks and

Here’s the crux of the question:
If you have a WiFi range extender with an Ethernet port on it (that may or may
not work as an Access Point), can you run an Ethernet cable from that range
extender to the WAN
If you Google cantenna you can get some very interesting research on long
range wifi for cheap. The combination of that plus some of Eric's
suggestions should be able to solve things for you.

Um,
How about a high gain antenna (you can purchase them from Fry’s electronics or
even on Amazon). If you can place the router, itself, in a good spot and use a
high gain antenna, you should be able to connect to another wi-fi system up to
half a mile away. It will save on complexity as well as
Hello David, I use a external long-range WiFi antenna with booster box. Booster
box is only supposed to put out 5 watts but can put out 250 watts per wifi
signal its great. Looks like a large grid antenna.
