The situation is this, have 2 houses on one property. Incoming Eskom feed goes into house one meter, feed comes out house one meter and into house two meter. House two has ADSL connection and LAN, but now want to provide conectivity in house one. Would the Broadcom etherner over power adaptors work in this situation, our do they only work below DB level? IE not past DB.
 
Interesting question.

If that doesn't work you could always go Wifi with Mikrotik or Ubiquity and link the buildings that way.
 
I was thinking the Wifi route as well, I already have ADSL Router with WiFi. Tried playing around with an old Telkom Marconi ADSL Router with Wifi last night, but it won't config as a repeater/bridge. The two houses used to be connected via UTP but a ground strike of lightening took care of that :) Lucky at the time nothing was connected to either end of the cable, but it still managed to cook the network outlets on either end of the cable...
 
So far I know, the device should work as long as it is on the same power network. They do not work through transformers.
 
I dont see any reason why the DB would block the signals...

But like above 2 Nanostation or simalar would work well too.
