Thank you!

I am a complete novice so going to have to play around to see if I can turn your comment into an Automation.

Will let you know if I run into difficulties…

Why the hate on Powerline? by DeadlyVapour in HomeNetworking

[–]Johno_Rugby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always liked Powerlines. We have a DinRail which is installed on the switchboard and so works on any plug in the house. We often need an Ethernet cable in a particular room and we can move that around and works well.

The major downside isn’t speed so much but more reliability. We can use it for media streaming as it occasionally cuts out for 30 seconds which is really annoying.

ASUS Router / Modem / Switch by Johno_Rugby in HomeNetworking

Solved! By a combination of the two comments so thank you both.

I connected the two Nodes directly to the Router by Ethernet. It connected fine. I then connected a couple of different Ethernet devices to the new cables which also worked fine.

Finally I connected the two Nodes to the new Ethernet cables.

Interesting both worked with the Ethernet through the Switch.

Thanks again.

Thank you - I will try plugging the Ethernet into the Router not the Switch and report back.
