How To Set Up a Powerline Adapter Network - with WiFi Range Extending

[@BabyBlue.23]

Wow I stumbled on this video doing power line research. How much your videos have changed!

[@AfrocaveMan]

Awesomeness, so what about security if you live in a building apartment? Someone could access your network using the same adapter from a different apartment ...

[@aidenmcgeehan428]

wow been following ufd for a year and found this gem when wanting to set up powerline

[@michaelquintana7270]

Wow what a difference compared to your current videos, I'm a big fan of your videos and I see the huge improvement. 😊

Been viewing through various videos, you have Nailed explaining each point perfectly. You have certainly got my like and subscription for sure.

A powerline adaptor connects your computer to the internet by using your home's electrical wiring. With a powerline adaptor, you can truly get the best of both worlds. A powerline adaptor is sometimes called a powerline-Ethernet adaptor because it still uses an Ethernet cable, just in a more limited capacity.

[@Jahfull]

Thank you so much! This was the best video I found explaining everything clearly!

[@evolifesword5972]

Omg, I always thought my powerline thing was a distance thing, so they never connected, I switched from a adapter powerline plug, to a wall socket and I got connection. This video should have way more likes. Never thought it was sending a connection through the powerline lmao

[@thesilentobserver93]

Wow! You were so new at this in the video and it shows. You've definitely come a long way.

[@jaredkolb1563]

Great video. Can you add a new WiFi network from the power line adapter through a separate WiFi router?

[@gamesandsoftwares1441]

i was searching for powerline setup and boooommmm ufd tech i was like oh yeah yeahhhh making gd videos since ever gd job guys

[@nanyabiznus4738]

I know right. I was thinking Powerline network adapter was a fake but i trust ufd

[@kuffarinfidel5591]

Thanks for the video man! It would be nice if you make one showing how to setup encryption between powerline units. That's important too for some people.

[@vladimirenev1847]

Great video! I wish I knew this existed 3 years ago. Now I don't really need it but it sure seems useful.

[@TurboManTom]

So does this act more like a mesh network where it actually extends the range(like an external antenna) instead of providing a second wifi signal?

[@da6dac979]

This will save my latency during gaming so much

[@markbune8540]

Bought these on your recommendation from Talealot Cape Town. Cant get them to work for the life of me!!

[@GregoryFeeney]

Mark Bune have you paired the units, the don’t come paired, you have to do this yourself.

[@olliew2129]

Great video i was struggeling with exactly the same problem as you thanks!

[@betelhemtesfaye7838]

You are great in explaining Sir.

[@i-muts]

it took me a while to realize this was a ufd tech video LOL

[@doctorrobert60]

Powerline adapters are great if your wiring allows good function. The documentation that comes with the Powerline adapters state put them on the same electrical circuit for best result. I have sending unit downstairs and the receiving unit upstairs. Speed is not too great and tried to use to connect to TiVo Mini without success. Computer connection was just OK but not great.

[@chaston281]

Very good but would like to know the speed you’re getting from both hard wire and wifi extension.

[@JohnFitzMusic]

I realize this is an old video and I’m late to the game but I was wondering does the Internet come in through the powerline adapter abide by the same firewall and security that you have set up with your Internet? I assume it does?

[@JJFlores197]

Yes it does. This setup uses your home's electrical wiring as a way to send network traffic. It doesn't alter the actual traffic.

[@floki5605]

Good video, thanks for the help.

[@UFDTech]

[@RumbiD]

Such a helpful video. Step by step explains everything perfectly !! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aqeelahj]

When you say to make sure your modem or router is plugged in do you mean for power or with an ethernet cord and port(so like establishing an original connection to then use the adapter for). Or can this be used to establish an internet connection completely without a single wall ethernet port?

[@mambogerry]

Best video on this subject that I have seen so far - and I have watched several. Unfortunately, I don't have a WPS button on my modem. Any suggestions?

[@edzz5196]

Very helpful tutorial, great for my gaming PC

[@TheSshibe]

I think the input holes are different everywhere, I'm in AU and we use different holes, it's also different when I went to Canada

[@gailbap7428]

Spectacular video! Thank you! I wonder whether the powerline adapters will show as 2 separate ethernet devices with separate IP addresses on router network map?

[@becjones1605]

I think the best thing about this video is ending, love that rap lol

[@maurogarza8919]

I only have telephone line wall outlet in my apartment....can I use this product. ..my cable guy installed my wifi with the coaxed cable.on the wall ..he said the ethernet is plug from my cable modem to the my back of my tv...he said wireless is better which I don't think so. .I keep unplugging it a bunch of times throughout the day lol..I've seen videos how to make my telephone line into a ethernet but it's gotta have cat5e cable it doesn't so I'm thinking this could wrk..

[@joekillah3002]

Do the outlets have to be on the same circuit?

[@austincompagno8731]

I have 2 WiFi extenders exactly as in this video. I paired them both but only one of them puts out wifi. They both give either net but only one wifi. Yes I have paired them both correctly. The wifi would work on both until i switch on the either net on both, then one of the wifi`s gives way. Any ideas?

[@alessiocicillini7941]

will it send wifi signal or you need the ethernet cable to be linked to the wifi booster or router?

[@polykarp_pol976]

Your video helped me a lot

[@paulztv_]

My pc isn’t reading the Ethernet cable for some reason? And I’ve tried everything, anything helps!

[@nextgensnip3r186]

My sisters room has the router but there is a bunch of stuff plugged into it though, can I use a drop cord to plug it in?

[@batintheattic7293]

Great video. I like that the distinct parts are easily identifiable using the stripy tee shirt against the dark curtain as punctuation! Me - I'm trying to get stronger wifi in my garden. The garden electrical circuit is, currently, the lighting circuit. My router, boosters, mainline internet adapters are inside on the plug socket circuit. I think I'm going to have to do some more tinkering. There's only a foot of bricks in between a TP Link AC1900 (plugged in right next to one of my two TP-Link TL-PA9020PKIT 2-Port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starters) and, on the external side of the wall, one of my two TP-Link TL-PA4010KIT Nano Powerline Adapters next to a NETGEAR 11AC 750 Mbps (300 Mbps + 450 Mbps) Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender. Not making much of a difference, though. Wifi, in the garden, is still patchy. I've got all these bits and I'm sure I'm not using any of them correctly! One of the TP-Link TL-PA9020PKITs is connected, to the router, with an ethernet cable. I think I got that bit right. I am currently, in a way, trying to house a tiger in a shoe box! Got a lovely big enclosure set up - the tiger is still happiest in the shoe box. Also, I suspect the Netgears are fighting with the TP Links...

[@bmiller949]

This has all the components that I want to configure for: Internet into modem, into firewall then to hardwired AC power mesh with adapters.

[@kaidn8267]

I was wondering if I could plug it into a power board or does it have to go start to the wall socket

[@firellio070]

Doesn't matter

[@RobertOndiek]

is it possible to use two sets of powerline adapters on the same electrical circuit? this is to eneable to me to extend the wifi to both downstairs and to the garage.

[@marcoarancibia5756]

Is the receiving adapter getting the internet signal through the Wi-Fi, too? I am asking because I see it uses the WPS button to provide wireless coverage. I thought the Wi-Fi provided by the receiving adapter would come from the powerline as well. Please clarify.

[@onikoyo8456]

This is what I thought as well

[@BlitzJR69]

what if u don't have a wps button

[@TheRastaaaaaaa]

if my receiver adapter does not have wifi would it be possible to connect a second router to it instead?

[@simon54]

hi this was really good up to 5:20, you lost me there. what router looks like that? mine doesn't. is this a second router on the other floor of the house?

Intestead of connecting the second power line on the lapto can someone connect it in another router ?

[@pussybutt4003]

i appreciate all your vids man. you specify everything in detail and are very informative. and you do it all really fast which i like because i’m also fast paced with pretty much everything i do. But Man!!! lmfaooo 🤣😂😅 you sound nervous as hell in this video bro hahah. I’ve seen all of your newer published works prior to just now watching this oldie. I’m sure anyone who’s watched your videos in a similar queue have noticed how quickly you’ve overcame this newbie phase portrayed in this video, a phase of which i’m sure every great youtuber has gone through. But damn, it sure is humorous to look back on, well, i hope, and that i’m not offending you or anything. Nervous or not, you still nailed this video and it got a thumbs up from me. 👍

I went ahead and pressed the WPS button on my router and then on my power line adapter and they both blink but don't stop as if they aren't recognized...? What do I do? Or do I need to press it on both adapters AND my router?!

[@justinchilcutt5114]

So is it safe to plug your powerline straight to your modem???? Is there any negatives about it?? I just bought a powerline and I have no router.

[@stephaniekubit4647]

[@UFDTech]

Should work perfectly fine. Can't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

I purchased a powerline adapter and its only one but do you need two for it to work??

[@moonstranuat5354]

[@helioshyperion8077]

i am still confused, from where you get the internet, here where i live we all have the DLS principle of which you connect a splitter DSL/ethernet adapter to a DSL line to get the internet, from u show in the video it seems you get the internet from electricity port? doesn't make any sense to me unless one cable in the electricity port has also data transfer(internet)

[@qutielove2208]

You should have your own affiliate link. That would be the smart thing instead a link to search results.

[@j.morales3166]

Is is worth it to hook up a second wireless router to the second receiver? Or is it necessary to extend the wifi range?

[@alexwong1236]

Can I plug it into a power strip ?? will it work ?

[@widM_]

how good is wifi on powerline adapter downstairs? same as upstairs or at least close?

[@talihaer]

dose it affect your speed if you run the internet from powerline ?

[@JPTech933]

Great video but it did not work for my customer, I had him buy a TP link two unit model such as the one in this video.. after more than an hour trying to set-up at a distance with him on the phone I gave-up, it seem that power line models work on the same electrical circuit, but when on a different circuit it may not function, so it got returned to Amazon. I told my customer to go and buy the Netgear wall plug wifi mesh single extender that was in-stock at his local Staples store. It has worked perfectly, my customer has an IP phone that is far from the router and requires a wired connection. With the WPS setup I was able to guide him over the phone. Really great during Covid as he is 79.

[@johnny99nyc]

Will this work in an apartment building? Also do I need to plug it into the wall or can i use a surge protector or other outlet apdapters? Thanks.

[@CarlosVega-mg5kk]

it would be better to plug it directly in because a surge protector might read the powerline frequency as unwanted noise and cancel it out

[@ManCaveTV1]

I am getting no Ethernet signal on my PC end with the power line adapter, any ideas 🤔

[@ayyblyat9450]

Did you figure out the problem?

[@ManCaveTV1]

Gabba Shanking I did for some reason my Ethernet port on my motherboard was disabled. The speed was 1/4 of what my internet said it was because of old wiring so I just got an Ethernet cable instead😀

[@nabilxmph7151]

I had a problem in connecting the base with the extender at first, until I plug the base DIRECTLY to wall socket rather than to power strip. Also, before I move the extender, I set up both dongles close by until they both connected. Only then, I moved the extender to my bedroom and no problem after that. The speed in the extender is consistently only about half of the speed router though... Not sure why.

This is probably gonna be a moron question. But I've never had my own internet before so idk how it works. Why do i need a modemn/router at all? Can i not plug my PC directly into one of these and have internet access? How does that all work? ELI5?

[@mjazy]

our router doesnt have wifi, so we only have powerline connection. can i also 'make' wifi using these?

[@swanknight8134]

No, it only extends wifi and amplifies. It does not create wifi on its own. Think of it as a lightning rod that gets wifi and shoots it back out stronger.
