My Son in law wants to use powerline alongside wifi. He has a split
supply CU with separate upstairs and downstairs ring mains, will
this cause connection problems? At the last house we used powerline
and also had seperate upstairs and downstairs ring mains and found
problems unless we had the powerline adaptor son the same ring main.

I've got (TP-Link) powerline here, not just across rings, but with
one end on a separate consumer unit daisychained off the main one.
Works just fine.

I found that my Powerline units were foxed by power strips, as warned
by the blurb. Something to do with the surge-absorbing components.
But I gave up Powerline and went with a boosted WiFi system instead, to
be kinder to any hams locally.
