Hello all. Just wondering if anyone has the same problem that I have been experiencing! My main telephone jack is by the front door to my house but all my kit is upstairs. I want to add a Time Capsule to my set-up but want to keep the install as minimal as possible but still keep the time capsule upstairs with all my gear so that I can backup over ethernet for my main machine rather than wireless. So my proposed solution would be: Phone Jack > ADSL 2+ Modem >Powerline Network Adaptor Downstairs > Powerline Network Adaptor Upstairs > Apple Time Capsule. The time capsule will be running the network for me for my various laptops, PS3, Xbox, iPhones and soon to be purchased MacMini etc. Will the time capsule work ok with the uplink coming via the powerline adaptor? Anyone think of a reason why this wouldn't work?
In summary the main goal of this is to avoid running cables up the stairs or putting the time capsule downstairs!
Question about
Time Capsule + Powerline Networking
It should work. I just got a Time Capule today and have NetGear PowerLine networking, although I don't have it hooked to the main trunk. I could test it for you, though, if you'd like.
