Hello, I'm in the process of having an electric car charger installation fitted. So far, quotes are coming in. Given my choice of charger, a network connection is required. Suppliers expect to be able to connect to my router (too far away, through several walls, and god knows what). I have a wifi extender well within range of the area that the control gear for where the charger is going (in fact, solar panel controls use it already). What I don't have in the area is an ethernet port to plug the new equipment into. I'm hoping to avoid some tricky cable running (I can do it, but it'll be a PITA), so am looking for something that will allow me to connect it to the equipment hub, rather than a router or switch. I don't wish to buy (for example) something like https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08C9WDQ2J?pf_rd_r=JMXRV9SQK60WCB6EFWB7&pf_rd_p=e632fea2-678f-4848-9a97-bcecda59cb4e if it's not suitable for my needs. What I'm looking to do is this; |-this part already exists-| |---this is the new part--| Router-netcable-wifiadapter --- wifiadapter-netcable-equipt Will the above type of adapter suffice, or do I need to look for something else? There are power sockets easily accessible where the new control gear is to be located, so that's not an issue. Alternatively, could I use 'ethernet over mains' gear? Even if the router and new equipment are on different ring circuits? As the subject says, advice is sought. All help greatly appreciated.
I couldn't get your link to work so I'm not sure why it would
need internet access - or if its just so you can see how charged
the car is from the living room them I'd dmz it to death. You dont
want to find you cant go out because an 'upgrade' failed.
