Can it be used to share your internet with a neighbor? It would need to go from house to transformer to another house. But not through the transformer.
well, in theory you have the “85 Mbps Intellon Chipset” – realistically, like many standards, you can safely figure about 1/2 that reliably, assuming reasonable wiring in your house itself. So, 35 to 40 Mbps should be no problem, typically. I use mine to stream HiDef from HDHomeRun over network all the time with no problem.
Not to say YMMV is not possible, and you can find sites that say much less, but in most instances this is probably a reasonable expectation.
This works with the electric wiring of the house. All your power wires are connected. That’s how this device sends it’s signal. If you take it to your neighbor’s house, all the transmitter is going to do is send the signal throughout the wiring of their home. You will not be able to plug the receiver into your house and borrow their internet. You can with wireless though.
