Using CPL to backhaul google wifi points 1st gen

Schirmat

Hi 

I have a Google wifi with 6 points and some are pretty far away. I have some cpl units to pass ethernet through AC power but it looks like it's not working the points keep the weak wireless connection.

 

I feed the cpl with internet via the main google wifi unit then plug the points through secondary cpl units to the wan port (globe symbol)

 

Is that correct? Should I do anything else?

Thanks!

Hey Schirmat,

 

Thanks for posting. I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing weak wireless connection. To confirm, how far are the access points from each other and from the main router? When you say CPL unit, do you mean powerline adapters? I’ll wait for your reply.

 

Regards,

Abi

Hi Abigail,

Thank you for your answer. 

The units are all 1 room between each other, max 30ft away but walls are thin brick European style home.

 

Yes by CPL I mean powerline ethernet adapter. The connection is successful between the powerline adapters but after 3 days the google wifi nodes didn't catch it.

 

Thanks!
