Is this cord long enough for a two story house? Can this wire sustain internet connectivity if the cable is extended for long amounts of time?

The length might work (best to measure) but buy a different cable, as this one is junk (not CAT5 inside)
380214
Yes, however, the length will depend on what 2 rooms the cable is connected to.

Yes you can connect to any power point in your home ( hope your house is a normal size house) and get internet at good speed. I have not tried extension cord (I guess that should work too)

I have it connected to where the cable company connects to my house. Its been plugged in for years. I'd buy it again. If it breaks down

It is really only a question of Speed. Either cable will work for this but if you have a Gigabit network you will want to use CAT6.

I have a two story home and it works great ..no problems anywhere in the home.

These will work as long as you plug it into a circuit wired to the same electrical panel as the circuit you transmitting to. As I remember it, the instructions say not to use it on an extension cord, power strip or surge protector. Why not just buy a longer Ethernet cable?

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

For internet yes for TV no. We use it within house 2 floors and to our rental cottage 200ft back. I think my cordless Panasonic gets connections further, but cant swear to that.

The unit comes with 3-4+ feet of wire. I would NOT extend it due to the fact that the connection may not be good and false readings may be given. just my 2 cents

I have a run much longer than that but what I used was a HDMI to cat5 or cat6 converter this worked well for me. Works up to 100' if you use cat6 cable for the longer run. These were just over $20 + the cat5 or cat6 cables.

50 feet shouldn't be too long. In general, about 300 feet is the maximum for an Ethernet cable.

This product is not a wifi-extender. It is a powerline adapter system which uses the existing 110VAC, 60 Hz wiring to send the internet signals from one electrical outlet to another within the house. Depending on the distance, if the apartment across the driveway is fed from the house's electrical panel then this might work for you. If not then maybe you can run a Cat 5e cable from the house to the apartment to have the ethernet signal hardwired in. From my experience the performance of Wifi extenders were spotty at best and is one reason I went with with this Powerline system instead. I hope you find this helpful.

It depends on measurement of your house. I had to use 25 more feet of cable. Mine works perfect. Hope this helps.

Hi Donald,Cat 5e cable should be capable of supporting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) connections. Unless you've got incredibly easy runs to replace and money to burn, you'd probably be better off keeping the existing cable.

The max distance you can run Ethernet is 100 meter or approximately 328ft. Unless you're using some kind of exotic equipment other than standard Ethernet switches, you'll want to look at fiber instead. That being said, if you're running this for POTS phone, you'll be fine.

The specs I found show that using cat5e cable you can go up to 100m or just over 300 feet at the gigabit speed so 50 feet should be fine. I was surprised at that length at gigabit (1000MB) speed since it says that is the same distance for 100MB speed. I have used a cable over 40 feet without any problems.

I have TWC cable and internet and this works well in the house. I cable modem and 2 cable boxes. I placed this on the main line into the house splitting it out to 5 rooms, only two connections really in use though. It's been running like a champ for over 9 months now.
