Can Powerline (dLAN) adapters be connected in series?
Hello community, since we live in a dead zone and don't want to switch to Starlink right away, I was wondering the following. I have good 5G reception about 700m from our house on a mountain. I'm currently using a 5G router via the mobile network, but it hardly works at all in the valley. My question is, what if I lay a cable up to the mountain and position the router there? Amplify the received signal via a powerline network connected in series with about four adapters and send it all the way to the house. Then connect it to a WiFi router to distribute the signal throughout the house. I just don't know if the signal gets lost too much after 700m? Or if the powerline adapters actually amplify the signal each time? Has anyone tried this or had any other experience with powerline? I'm grateful for any tips. Oh yes, I've also considered point-to-point radio, but there are a few groups of trees between the house and the point on the mountain with the signal. Regards, Basti

There’s a 700 meter problem.
Hello Norbert,
thanks for your super listing of options. And the related problems. That’s exactly how I painted it out. With the DSL connection would be nice. But we live in Bulgaria in the High-Balkan. Here no one feels responsible for electricity, water let alone phone or internet. Living in a hamlet that is uninhabited over 30 years. There is therefore little infrastructure available. We have to make them. For this we live directly in the heart of the Balkan Mountains where Wolf and Bear say good morning. Also think the Starlink is the best solution in our case. Thanks again.
Greetings
Ui – now you got me cold. I already had a few requests from countries that I can’t even imagine the climate, the environment, etc. From Bulgaria – wow – New Zealand. You can just think of yourself badly if you don’t know the country.
One more thing about directional radio (I must tell you – I am an instructor for FiSi): if you are interested: read yourself correctly – this is a complex issue. The reason is that you’re surrounded by directed radio waves. It’s not enough if you only have a clear view of the “objection” but you also have to take into account the Fresnel zone. That’s why I didn’t add it to my list. The technique sounds simple, but is quite complex. Your mentioned tree groups make a line through the bill and the equipment is not quite cheap.
Greetings to you, Basti – in Bulgaria – I don’t pack it, who you get to know here.
Be careful not to grab a wolf or bear on the seat.
A long life and health.
Towards, Our Junior who lives in the house next door and to whom you could put an Accespoint (explained below) (of course with two holes in the houses says clearly and clearly no.) I want a separate connection. It’s comprehensible.
That’s the logical thing. Why not have a separate Internet connection?
Then you understand Powerline wrong. Power is power line is power line.
A powerline adapter gets the signal from the router per Lankabel and sends it to the domestic power grid. This is done on an adapter as a Lan or Wlan signal.
Ready.
There’s nothing going on.
At a 700m, Lankan, it becomes just as little. You only need a cable for house DSL connections available in the professional area, but this is just as useless as powerline. The 5G is only a not transitional solution. For unconnected houses or nicht connectable huts. But they’ve got electricity.
Theoretically you can set up an Accespoint, but you need at least 6. They’ll get the signal by Lan from the router. After 100 m an AP. The once again gives out Lan. u.s.w. What then comes out nobody knows 100%
They have to be laid under ground for frost-proof (min -1m) and naturally need electricity. What comes out in the end is another
The most sensible thing is
let you connect to the stinky DSL/Cable Internet
or use Starlink, which is unnecessary in the dense German network.
Hi.
It won’t work, Powerline’s already in a house.
On TV, there’s a report that a woman has made the broadcast on a small radio antenna. You’re looking for visual contact from one antenna to the other.
you will already get a problem if the distance to the mountain is not on your own plot.
And then you don’t put a powerline for 700 meters, but a reasonable Ethernet cable. (Or if you do not want to have it connected in terms of current technology, just a glass fiber line with corresponding media convergents on Ethernet.)
Hello Xandros, the plots behind the house belong to us. Otherwise I would not have considered the idea. What does sensible Ethernet cable mean? Sorry’s not my bull. And then the router still has to be powered. That’s how I got on Powerline. Thought I could connect both. Can an Ethernet cable transmit the signal over 700m?
You don’t need an Ethernet cable at the distance, but glass fiber. You just need adapters on LAN if it doesn’t have the cable. You can’t use a powerline on the selected distance. Best regards
I don’t think that makes any difference. You need a glass fiber on LAN adapter. Best regards
Okay, thank you. That’s a good info. What would you recommend for a glass fiber cable?
Technically, it is impossible.
I think you have another problem. You need a tension for the router. You got one up there? If not, solar cells with battery? If you solve the problem, you can do the following:

Both are robust and easily suitable for 700m.
