Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Can I move my IPTV set-top box to another room without running an Ethernet cable from the modem, and can the TV signal be sent wirelessly instead?

In theory you can bridge the TV signal wirelessly, but the thread says it is not the recommended solution because the TV service is carried on a separate VLAN and ordinary Wi‑Fi/repeater setups may not pass it reliably [#16793784][#16794024] A Wi‑Fi repeater alone is not enough, because the set-top box still needs Ethernet and the network devices would have to be transparent to the VLAN [#16793784][#16794024] The safer suggestion is PLC/powerline adapters, which were recommended as working well in practice, with simple TP-Link models like TL-PA4010 or TL-PA2010 mentioned [#16793671][#16793715][#16793877] Their success depends on your electrical installation: circuit length, quality, and interference matter, and the manufacturer prefers the same phase, although one reply says it can sometimes work across phases too [#16793784][#16793877]

    Hello. I have a package of services at Multimedia. It is a telephone, television, internet. The main signal - optical fiber is connected to the Huawei Echolife 8245H modem. In the LAN1 port there is internet connected to the TP-link router which sends the signal wirelessly, while in the LAN4 port there is television where the Ethernet cable is connected to the IPS3000 TV set-top box and then the HDMI cable to the TV. And I have a question about television via Ethernet cable. Now I have everything in one place, i.e. TV set-top box modem and no problem with connecting the television. However, I would like to move this TV to the living room and this means that I would have to drag the Ethernet cable from the modem to the living room because there would be a decoder. However, I do not want to drag the cable because I do not even have such a possibility. Is it possible to send TV wirelessly? I mean from the modem from the LAN4 port where the TV connect the cable to the appropriate router, then send the signal to some receiver (switch?) That will be next to the TV and connect it to the TV decoder with an Ethernet cable and finally an HDMI cable to the TV. If it is possible? Will this work? If so, what routers would I need to buy? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards.

    Theoretically, you can make such a connection, but in practice the wireless network can affect the bandwidth and thus the stability of your TV. I think PLC transmitters will be a better solution.

    You probably could (I haven't tried), but it must be a second Wi-Fi network - only for TV. It can't be released on one wireless network. Anyway, wired - you have to do VLAN separation if it is to go with one cable.

    Which transmitter should I buy? what about configuration? All you need to do is connect the cable from the modem television to the first transmitter and the second transmitter which would be connected to the TV with the cable with the TV decoder and everything will work without configuration?

    Of course, there would have to be a separate internet network (I have one) and separate for TV.

    Do the sockets to which the transmitters will be connected have to be in the same phase? At home, as far as I know, I have two-wire cables. Can there be two veins or three must be? Which transmitter would be good and not too expensive?

    Because the WiFi repeater is not an option? The room between the tv and modem is divided by one wall.

    So says the manufacturer, I have tested on different phases but take into account each electrical installation is different.

    Is a repeater not enough?

    And how do you want to connect it to the ethernet port? With wifi fiber optic modem you will not have TV on the tuner because it is another VLAN.

    Do they have to be three-wire or can they be two-wire? And can they be mixed? Because I have a new part added and it can be on 3 wires and the old part of the house on two because in the past two were made so I read. But the counter is one. Which PLC transmitter would work and be inexpensive?

    The number of wires, i.e. the type of installation (TN-S or TN-C) does not matter, but the number of circuits, length of the installation, its quality and potential interference are significant. Buy over the internet and check how it will work.

    Some simple without wifi e.g. TP-Link TL-PA4010 unless you get TP-Link TL-PA2010

    Approx. I know more about it. Is it possible to split the signal into two TVs?

    If you get the next tuner from the supplier, of course you will. Now you can only split the signal from HDMI or AV but you will watch the same on two TVs.

    And I still have a question. And you can't use two routers for one signal and for TV the other to receive the signal and set the AP Client?

    Sure you can but first of all there may be problems in the building and secondly the devices must be transparent in the network so that this VLAN works without a problem. Feel like and time is up to whoever forbids you.

    Hello. And if I buy a TP-link 4220 kit PLC set and it has a receiver for two rj45 outputs, if the two decoders are connected, will it work and will I be able to watch something different on each one?

    Address this question to your supplier. Unfortunately, I do not know how the Multimedia network works from this page. In addition, you also need a decoder from the supplier if it's his television (service). I say no but of course I can be wrong.

    Can I simultaneously connect separate TV and internet cables through the transmitter because some transmitters have two RJ45 inputs?

    No. Internet and TV cannot go on the same network.

FAQ LABEL_AI_GENERATED

TL;DR: Want IPTV from a Huawei EchoLife 8245H to an IPS3000 without dragging cable? Use powerline (PLC) or a dedicated 2nd Wi‑Fi network—“It must be a second Wi‑Fi network – only for TV.” [Elektroda, jprzedworski, post #16793682]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps home users move a TV decoder without rewiring while keeping stable picture and sound.

Quick Facts

Can I send IPTV from the Huawei EchoLife 8245H to the IPS3000 over Wi‑Fi?

Yes, but expect unstable video. Wi‑Fi variability harms bandwidth and stream stability. “PLC transmitters will be a better solution.” If you insist on wireless, run a separate Wi‑Fi just for TV traffic. Powerline avoids most RF issues and is plug‑friendly. [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793671]

Do I need a separate Wi‑Fi network just for the TV decoder?

Yes. “It must be a second Wi‑Fi network – only for TV.” If you must carry TV and other data on one cable, use VLAN separation. Dedicated SSID reduces contention and jitter for multicast IPTV streams. [Elektroda, jprzedworski, post #16793682]

Will a Wi‑Fi repeater work with the TV tuner from the fiber modem?

No. The TV signal uses a different VLAN from Internet. A standard repeater won’t pass that VLAN, so the tuner won’t get TV service. “With Wi‑Fi… you will not have TV on the tuner because it is another VLAN.” [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793784]

Which PLC/powerline adapters are suggested for this IPTV use?

Choose simple Ethernet‑only kits like TP‑Link TL‑PA4010 or TL‑PA2010. Avoid unnecessary Wi‑Fi features if you only bridge the decoder. Keep runs short and on clean circuits for best throughput. [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793877]

Do PLC adapters have to be on the same electrical phase?

Manufacturers recommend one phase. Users report cross‑phase links can work, but results vary by installation. Treat cross‑phase as an edge case and test before committing. [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793784]

Does two‑wire vs three‑wire wiring matter for PLC performance?

No. The wiring system type (TN‑S vs TN‑C) doesn’t decide success. What matters is the number of circuits, total length, wiring quality, and interference sources. That is where most PLC failures occur. [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793877]

How do I try a PLC setup for IPTV quickly?

  1. Connect a PLC adapter to the modem’s TV port (e.g., LAN4) and a nearby wall outlet.
  2. Connect a second PLC adapter by the TV, then Ethernet to the IPS3000.
  3. Pair the adapters per kit instructions and test channels. “TP‑Link … work very well.” [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793715]

Can I watch different channels on two TVs from one decoder or one PLC link?

No. One decoder outputs one channel. An HDMI/AV splitter only mirrors the same picture. To watch different channels, request an additional tuner or a multiroom service from your provider. [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793948]

My TP‑Link WPA4220 receiver has 2 RJ45 ports—can I plug in two decoders?

You can plug them in physically, but viewing different channels depends on your provider and service plan. The hardware’s extra ports don’t replace a second subscription or tuner. Ask your operator about multiroom. [Elektroda, grzechu146, post #16796456]

Can I carry TV and Internet over the same home network or through one PLC segment?

No. Keep IPTV and Internet separated. Mixing them on one network breaks service, because the TV uses a distinct VLAN and transport profile. [Elektroda, jprzedworski, post #16798349]

Can two routers in client/bridge mode replace cabling for the TV VLAN?

Yes, but both devices must be transparent to pass the VLAN unaltered. Building layout may still cause issues. “Devices must be transparent… so that this VLAN works without a problem.” [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16794024]

Will one interior wall between the modem and TV matter if I try Wi‑Fi?

Any wall can lower throughput and increase jitter. That hurts IPTV. For stability, prefer PLC over a repeater. This reduces RF losses and keeps peak bandwidth steady. [Elektroda, jimasek, post #16793671]

Which modem ports carry Internet vs TV in this setup?

In the described installation, Internet is on LAN1 and TV is on LAN4 of the EchoLife 8245H. Follow your ISP’s labeling, as assignments can differ by operator or firmware. [Elektroda, grzechu146, post #16793662]

If a PLC unit has multiple RJ45 inputs, can I feed separate TV and Internet lines together?

No. Even with multiple ports, you must not merge TV and Internet onto one logical network. Keep them isolated end‑to‑end to maintain service. [Elektroda, jprzedworski, post #16798349]

Do I need to ask my provider before adding a second TV point?

Yes. Additional independent viewing usually requires an extra decoder or a multiroom add‑on from the provider. Confirm availability, costs, and device limits. [Elektroda, jprzedworski, post #16797337]
