Am I correct in assuming the device sends the signal through the power lines?
2065494
Yes. I also have another set of devices that allow me to connect to the internet over the power lines. Neither interferes with each other.
2065495
Yes, but the main unit (there are two units in a package) must be plugged close to a phone jack in your house. The other one can be plugged anywhere in your house.

I think so but notice, I returned it. Reason; I wanted to run my Netflix with it but no dice. Stickily a phone line. Did supply dial tone but not Netflix.
2065497
Yes but I wanted to use it for the internet but it was just for the phone line

If you are presently getting a weak signal, I think this would make a stronger signal. If presently no signal, I don't believe it would help. You also need to take into account if router you are trying to get signal from is near a window(which would help), or if there are trees etc, that would interfere with signal.

This just sends out the signal. You need to check the instructions on the existing receiver you have.

No. The circuit has to be on In order for the transmitter to send the signal to the reciever.

Absolutely not. Both the device and the laptop receive their power through cords connected to a power strip.

It won't work, as there is a limitation for transmitting the signal over power line. but you could share the wireless signal if you could get the neighbor's signal or if they could get yours.

no, because it requires a wifi signal. If you want something when the power goes out, I would recomend a mifi from your wireless company.

Yes, this is the whole point. As long as your outlets are connected to the same main circuit (they should be), you can transport the signal anywhere at home.

I am not sure and don't want to mislead you. I have DSL, so mine is plugged into my phone line and then into my computer.

That's worth a call to BRK/1st Alert. Since the interconnect I've wire runs from unit to unit, the battery-powered units should be able to send the signal, but I don't know for sure.

Yes to all your questions.But you have to setup dynamic DNS on the device , so when power goes out it will notify the Internet, that the IP address has changed. I use dyndns.org.
1578286
No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

You can trace a single wire BUT if you have any other wires near the single strand then they will probably pickup the signal as well. Make sure wire is not energized.
787736
Yes as long as you have a modem that the first plug link can hook up to so as to send the initial signal through the power line.

I don't know for certain but I would expect that would happen. If the power surge is large enough to disable/destroy other electronics in your house then I suspect it would damage this device as well.

Thanks. I'll try. Both my laptop and my computer have active little lights that seem to indicate they are sending or receiving signals. I gather that means a router would be sufficient if I understand K. Slon.

No, it sends a low voltage signal to the device. It could be done if you sent the signal to a relay that powered the 120 volt circuit
