The Ubiquity product uses a little power supply which includes the injector.
The connections are AC line, and ethernet in/out. So to replace the power
supply you’ve got a bit more of a project. Buy them from amazon. Test for
noise. Return if necessary and get something else! Much easier than
I ran 50’ CAT5 with POE to the propane tank where the ubiquity link radio was
hung. That’s maybe 80-90’ from my 6m EME array and heard nothing. The CAT5 was
due north so not a direction the array was ever pointed and I didn’t go looking
for trouble! But I’m pretty quiet, on a good day with some
I had great luck with a pair of ubiquity bullets. They were 5.4GHz with built
in directional antennas. Great range and speed. My neighbor’s DSL was out a few
days so I ziptied one to a propane tank pointing at his house about 150’ away.
Not much obstruction though. He said it was much faster
some of the ubiquiti poe supplies are noisy... some not.
Since I have 5 poe access points pointing in different directions, i
have two third party power hubs one a 24vdc one a 48 vdc ... both
carry CE markings as does the last Ubiquiti POE ps I used. I do
remember back a while I did

Common mode chokes on the Ethernet cable as close

to extend your connection do look at Ubiquiti products They are
available worldwide.
I currently employ over 20 devices over a three mile area to get
Ethernet ( broadband) to my remote location.
Your point to point should work with 2 devices for under 100$ each in
the US...

Hi Tim,

I've been using the TrendNet TPL-40x series of powerline wireless
adapters for a number of years to get my radio computers (upstairs) on
the home network and they work just fine. They're not extremely fast,
but they're certainly fast enough to handle telnet spots, programmed
file backups, and

Hi Tim,
I worked on the Home Power standard from its inception. I Was able to make
sure that none of the ham bands were used at all. Thus HomePower (or Powerline
as it gets called) should be the perfect solution to your problem.

We're mixing what the power companies tried to do sending IP over the
existing power lines to homes, and what the OP is talking about where
you plug a box into an outlet in one room, plug a box into an outlet in
another room and it all happens inside the house.
What he wants is room-to-room
I used them briefly a few years ago for similar reasons, mainly old solid
walls.
As Rick said they were slow!
The other big thing I found (bear in mind it was few years ago) was the fact
that they only worked satisfactorily if on the same circuit. i.e. if the
signal went through the consumer unit
I have a similar situation. I have a pair of powerline extenders, and I
was unable to detect QRM from them on 40-10m. My antenna is not that far
from the building, either.
But from time to time, I lose my connection and have to disconnect and
reconnect to get it back. Sometimes it can be quite

I use gain antennas where I can, not further than 50' away, which works
through extenders (repeaters). You might
Tim,
Glad to help! Remember this was several years ago. Maybe things have
improved. Do your homework before coming to a conclusion. I just remember
all the hub-bub from a few years ago, when Internet-over-power line first
came up.

Fellow Elecrafters,
I am trying to extend the wifi

with lots of re-bar in them, which is good for the odd earthquake - but not so
much for wifi.
