Netgear and TP-Link work much better than the Mikrotik device.

It would be on the same phase since its on the output of the APC, I
just
dont know if the apc output will impact it. Ive heard all kinds of
things
some that it uses just the ground, some that its a neutral/ground
loop,
some that its riding phase. I dont know enough about them to know what
they
actually do

Mikrotik makes one. You do have to be in the same phase, keep that

mind.
In our case we've got a DC plan on the ground and just pay $18/mo for
a
Sprint data card. It's a lot easier than running cable up/down the
building - at the very least we'd need a ~200 foot crane to be able
to do
it. Not for just monitoring some batteries!

You know those powerline to ethernet extenders? Are they reliable

would there be any issue with them on a battery backup circuit?
We us apc smartups, we have a couple grain elevators where all our
gear
it up top, this will be more common as they mandate conduit at the
sites.
Instead of running everything down strapped to the site conduit we
will
have to put our own in. Thay length of run is no good for pvc and it
runs
us about 6k to put in 2 1-1/2 emt runs with breakouts. And that's
only when
theres room in the chase. So we are going to just move to a single
dedicated 110v circuit run to the top with our generator cutover at
the
bottom. Batteries last longer at ground level where they're shaded
in the
summer and wind doesnt blow away all the heat in the winter so we
are going
to put the apc at the bottom and eat the power drop if there is much
til we
go to DC solutions.
In the mean time we need to monitor the apcs. Many sites wont have
wireless visibility between top and bottom so we need an
alternative. As I
understand it apc output is square not true sinewave, would that
impact
those ethernet over powerline extenders? These only connect at 10mb
anyway
so throughput and all that are irrelevant, though it will be kind of
nice
to have a data port below for troubleshooting.
