Never heard of that. Uses an adapter in a power point socket?
Prolly no good, as router is in a seperate building, running it's own power box from a fuse on the main power box.

If all the power is on the same side of the meter should work as it's only the meter that interrupts the data flow. Had a customer I sold a couple to that had a home office in a detached garage and a room in the main house, had sub-board but only one power meter, was all good.

Is that worth your time? Unless you're wiring up 110 jack-points or having to put them through uber tight spaces then why not just buy them pre-made...adds about.......50c to a 10m cable?

An cripes, I knew kiwi's were tight but 3 PAGES of replies for a USB G wifi adapter that you can get for $25? FFS....it's probably an old 802.11b one he's got.

MSTRS...don't be such a skinflint...USB N adapters are about $45. TP-Link is 100% reliable...been flogging them for over 4 years. Good consumer grade 'N' type repeaters are $85 (a fug load more if you want them outside or need PoE though).

I can testify 1st hand that the D-link one is shite. Netcomm one is $160. Pretty pricey....have only used them on 1 locations where latency was a big issue and the customer couldn't rewire the place as he was leasing premises from an arsehole. Ran faultlessly for past 3 years.

Unless you like, sabotage it or something its not going to fail on its own.

Consider yourself lucky. Mind due in saying that most of the stuff I have issues with is about 10+ years old.
Mice love cat-5.

However likewise cables that get moved or are 'pinched' are no fun either.
When I am trouble shooting on site - changing the cable is number 2 on the list. Just below "What the fuck changed?"

Have you bought a cable retail before?
