@Wendyb 

 

Hi, to ensure the performance of the powerline adapter, it is suggested to use them under the same power circuit.

 

And the main unit need connects to the main router by wired cable all the time so that the extender unit can access internet from the main unit and boost wifi signal. 

 

Good day.

@Wendyb I am running 1 transmitter and 3 recievers AV1000, and they are not on the same "circuit" and it works fine, if by circuit you mean they are all covered by one isolating switch. The circuits all obvioulsy have to be connected through the DB board.

 

Cheers

@Chewie76    I guess what I meant is same circuit in the fuse box. The electircal out let in my one room is not the same connection to fuse box as the other room. I hope I am explaining myself correctly..lol

To be clear, by different circuits I mean all going to the circuit board but they can be isolated at the circuit board by tripping the isolator switch. But all the circuits are electrically connected when the isolators are closed.
