So at home, in some remote rooms where my Wi Fi doesn't reach, I have a dLAN going through the power supply... Which I usually use to connect my PC on...

Also, when I connect my TD to my computer, it uses the Internet connection for all data transfers.

So my question is : Rather that having to turn on my computer to have Internet access on my Diamond, is it possible to use directly the signal from the dLAN (it's a Devolo one, so it has a RJ 45 connection, and a USB 2.0 so I guess some USB 2.0 <-> Mini-USB adaptator should exist) on my Diamond?

I strongly doubt that you can use the USB connection, because the dLan device needs to be connected to a HOST-enabled USB port, which the Diamond simply does not have.

But there is an even better solution for you, which even frees you from any wires...

---> Connect a WiFi Accesspoint to the RJ45 of the dLAN, use the WiFi in this new area to connect to the Diamond....

Good Luck

That's what I'm planing to do anyway, but 100 euros is a little to much for a simple range extender knowing that a WiFi router costs about 50 euros...
