    You said absolutely nothing about ADSL. You just mentioned a phone line. However, that still is not a feature of PowerLine, both buildings would have to be on the same circuit for PowerLine to even work anyways. The only thing you can do is connect both adapters using Ethernet, with one end connected to your ADSL modem. However, both buildings have to be on the same circuit, which I assume is not the case (that would be extremely strange if that’s the case)

  • @DavidPostill Could you care to detail a little bit please? Because these powerline-phone adapters (amazon.co.uk/RTX-WIRELESS-PHONEJACK-Phone-White/dp/B000NJQHL4) exist, I thought the principle would be the same. I would just have to adapt the jacks at both ends of my powerline-ethernet adapters...

  • @Ramhound I thought it was obvious that I needed to connect the phone line to wifi router because it carried the ADSL signal. Also, in this case it's in the same building. It's the powerline of my own apartment (edited the OP).

    @cinico - I have a landline phone. ADSL never even entered my mind. Those adapters have absolutely nothing to do with PowerLine. They communicate with themselves, powered by the socket you plug them in, by connecting one end with a source (hence the reason one of them has two plugs). It looks like the communicate over 2.4 GHz (which is what DECT uses). It’s a fancy cordless phone base.
