Have a customer that needs to add internet access in his garage, about 400 feet from his house. House is served with DSL from the telco. There is a buried customer owned phone drop from the house to the garage. Instead of a wireless solution, would some sort of ethernet extender work? I found things similar to this on-line: Link What are your experiences with this? Thanks. Jim

What about HPNA devices? I have used some in the past that will work up to 2000' over a copper pair. I don't have the link to the product handy but will post once I find it.

I think there was a post in General about this a few months ago. If I remember, Black Box has all kinds of devices to send Ethernet over a single pair.

I may get flamed for this, but I'd try just using the copper with no extenders and see what happens. One less piece of equipment to get fried and the worst case scenario being you have to buy the extenders and just plug them in.

One pair over 400 feet?...or are there more than one pair?
400 feet is pushing (actually, OVER) the distance limit for copper Ethernet.

We've got a set of ruggedized Ethernet extenders using VDSL in place that extend our network just under 7000 feet over one pair in an aerial 25pr. They work great, and didn't even get blown up in this years lightning round.

Thanks Jeff. There was a thread about 'point to point on my cable' that actually was the same thing I'm looking for. Sounds like I'm on the right track, according to that other thread.

Why not wireless? .... i have a customer with two buildings 1,500 feet apart .... they are cheap and went with low end D-Link directional antennas and access points.
Works like a charm.

Just try the copper you have and see what happens.I have Mexican grocery stores with 1000 ft plus cables and the POS and computers work fine.
Won't pass a scan but they don't care a flip.
