I'm trying to find out if this is possible as what i've read seems to say no, but the info i've been reading isn't new so i'm wondering if something has changed to make it possible.
What i'm looking to do is have good internet both in the house and in the garage. For a while i've been using access points and repeaters, but this isn't good enough all the time so i'm looking to have a hard line in the garage also. To do this i'm going to have to install an additional socket in the garage, which i then want to plug straight into with a router.
I can then have wifi and wired in the garage. I also of course want to wifi and wired in the house also.
Everything i've read says to have 2 routers on the same line they need to be wired together, but yet wiring the routers together is not feasible.
Is it possible to do what i want to do?

Still, i guess it's running a cable into the lounge after all unless i can think of something else.
Cheers

If anyone has some proper knowledge and my requirements and wouldn't mind sharing that'd be great as i really don't like the idea of being led up the garden path with cable as the internet seems awash with space age cable ideas and i don't know how to sort the wood from the trees, and would prefer not to have to dedicate a large chunk of time at becoming adept with the electronics of it all.

Getting plugs on solid cable isn't too hard but you'll only get a certain amount of "wiggle" on them before the cores snap.

Quote from: gingerbloke Unfortunately, on the limits they become very frustrating indeed (work for weeks, then need constant rebooting for a while, then work for weeks).
Like with so many things, its depends. It depends on what you buy and how good your mains wiring is.
I spent a few bob and bought Devolo AV200 which have been excellent. Plug them in, connect them up and forget they are there.
Some people have reported ADSL REIN interference with some home plug equipment. I have not personally experienced that with the Devolo devices.
