    Hey helpful ppl wink.gif

    Have been trying to sort this problem for a friend.
    He has a phone network Mifi device connected to PC1 (win 7) via USB.
    PC2 (win 7) is located in shed/garage at bottom of garden.
    Internet sharing is required with the currently available powerline adapters he purchased.
    Question: Can this be achieved? I know it's a simple plug and play matter with router - powerline - powerline - pc, but having a fecker of a time trying to sort the Mifi - PC - powerline - powerline - PC.

    Don't know if i'm missing obvious (as usual with networking issues) or head to brick wall scenario!?

    Oh, not sure if info needed but: Powerline Adapters = TrendNet TPL-406E2K
    Mifi device = Huawei E586

    Thanks in advance for any input confused.gif

    You wouldn't have any way to connect the Mifi to the homeplugs

    Edit, I see you want to share it from a pc. Does this vid help
