Steer way clear of powerline stuff Matt, from bitter experience. You're better off meshing access points, have had great success with ubiquiti's wireless uplink feature, can't speak for Mikrotik in this regard. On Fri., 19 Jul. 2019, 1:21 am Matt Hall, <matt@screamsaver.net> wrote:
Hi All, Rare that I would want to resort to powerline devices, (power over ethernet). Mikrotik has just released a product that may or may not make it to Australia. In the meantime, I have a 2 bedroom unit built like a bunker that needs wifi access at the rear. Client has been successfully using EOP for one section of the unit so I’ve plugged in one of the pairs of the EOP devices to test various power outlets and it gets a green light wherever we need wifi so I’m thinking I might find a device that does EOP with built 2.4 for this job.
Simple requirements, most demanding task will be steaming video.
I don’t want to piggyback an AP on the EOP unit as one of them will sit in a hallway and look rather messy.
No option to run cat cable here due to strata laws and building design. Another option is mesh I guess.
Thoughts? Any recommendations on an EOP unit with built in wifi?
Matt
