How Powerline Networking Works
Many of those looking to create a network for their home or office are not aware of the convenience, versatility, and affordability of employing powerline networking kits. In fact, when some here how they work they are incredulous! So how do they work? You simply plug in the adapters provided in the kit into any live electrical outlet, and the network’s signal is sent via the buildings existing wiring. You plug your Ethernet ready devices into the port or ports provided on the adapters, and you enjoy broadband internet and data transfer speeds up to 200Mbps!
Typically in a kit, one of the adapters is designed to host your network router, and often features a 10/100 Ethernet port. The router can be wired or wireless, making powerline kits a great option for extending the range of a wireless network that does not reach the furthest rooms or offices of a building. The second adapter will have one to four ports, each capable of supplying high speed service to a separate device, such as a PC or laptop, an HDTV, MP3 player, network fax or printer, or gaming console. The advantages of a network system are many, including the ability to provide interference-free connections where electrical equipment is in use and a range offered that is greater than many wireless networks.
