No, not a good assumption.
Often the sockets on the ground floor are on one ring and those on the upper
floor (or floors) on another.
The number of circuit breakers or fuses on your board will give you an
indication.
If a recent rewire has been carried out, then you may have:
Ring main, lighting, hob, smoke detectors and immersion water heater as a
minimum.
If there are two, some electricians may split the ring between two floors.

Thanks Richard. Am I right in thinking that all electricity sockets in one
property (say in one house) would be normally on the same ring main? Sorry
if this is a silly question!

One point to note is that I found that both extenders seem to need to be on
the same rinng main.

Hello all,
Has anyone tried any of these powerline Wi-Fi extenders and can give an
opinion? E.g. TP-LINK TL-WPA4220 AV500 Powerline 300M Wi-Fi Extender/Wi-Fi
Booster/Hotspot with Two Ethernet Ports (Easy Configuration, Wi-Fi Clone for
Smartphone/Tablets/Laptop):

A couple of years ago I lived in a flat where I needed a wireless extender.
Though I spent £80 on a good brand wireless booster from PC World it didn’t
actually did the job. The fact remained that the loss of wireless signal was
due to the building itself and not the distance from the rooter. So I wonder
if these powerline extenders are the answer as they don’t rely on connecting
the rooter to the hotspot wirelessly but through your home’s electricity
circuit.
People have brought up few wireless range related issues of late on list so
I thought I’d mention these devices...
Hope this is of some interest.
