Help me setup powerline

[RUI771]

hi

I need help to setup my powerline , so basacly have a open internet where i live and have the acess with my old Laptop using this device (TP-LINK TL-WN822N), so I need to share the same internet from the desktop to my desktop in a diferent room with a powerliNe(netgear 200mhps).

i was using this :

TP link adapter gets the internet to laptop
Enabled routing and remote access from latop to share internet to the desktop
Connect ethernet cabble to laptop (working )
Connect ethernet cabble to desktop (working)
Share internet from laptop to desktop through lan powerline


Is it possible to use raspberry pi 2 instead of using the old laptop(because it has to work 24/7) and share internet to my desktop?


lan powerline

I remember you. Glad it's still working.

There is two options.

Either get two wireless access points. They are boxes that take a wireless signal, send it to an ethernet cable. Basically wifi-to-ethernet. You would need 2 since they are not routers and can't handle multiple devices, IE, you couldn't go wireless access point to the powerline adapters because of IP.

Or you get a wireless access point and a router. Then it would

wireless access point

PC#2



This is a bit complicated to setup. This allow sharing between the two PC's though, which 2 separate wireless access points won't give you. Each PC would be on it's own.


So there is a Pro and Con to both solutions.

This is actually what you have.

Here's the problem. The laptop get's it internet from the WIFI, and shares it by acting as a router. If you remove the laptop and try and put a raspberry pi in there, first the pi needs a USB wifi card, then it will share the internet via ethernet to 1 cable. How do you plan on hooking up that one cable? To what computer.

i was thinking in use the same tp link adapter in raspberry connect to wifi and use ethernet port to connect to powerline 1 to power ine 2 and then desktop but i dont know if it works(i the raspeberry pi supports internet sharing).

Then how do you get internet to the laptop?

And why not just get a wireless adapter for the desktop and let it connect to the free wifi internet then?

Then how do you get internet to the laptop?

I only need internet on my deskptop, i was ussing the laptop just to get internet.

And why not just get a wireless adapter for the desktop and let it connect to the free wifi internet then?

because it is very slow and my desktop is in my room and the laptop in the attic to get internet.

Ah, well you never explained it like that.

A Raspberry Pi can do internet sharing, there is like a million sites if you google it on how to do this.

There is one.


If you are good with Raspberry Pi programming anyways, it all involves coding and tweaking and stuff. If you're not a Linux kind of person, than get a wireless access point.
