Planning Your PowerLine Network

What is a Powerline Network?

The typical wired Ethernet network uses Ethernet network

cables to connect your wired network devices. A powerline

network uses the existing powerlines in your home or

office to connect your powerline network devices, such as

computers and media devices.

How Do You Create a Powerline Network?

Each network device needs its own PowerLine AV Ethernet

Adapter. On one of your computers, run the Setup Wizard

for each Adapter.

Connect each Adapter to its network device, and then

plug the Adapter into an electrical outlet.

In a typical network, connect one Adapter to your router,

so your powerline network can share the high-speed

Internet connection. Then connect additional Adapters to

your computers and other network devices.

For example, in the application diagram, the router

upstairs is connected to its Adapter, which is plugged

into an electrical outlet. Downstairs, the media center is

connected to its Adapter, which is plugged into another

electrical outlet. Using the powerlines of the home, the

router can route any data—video clips, music files, and

digital photos—from any networked computer or storage

device to the entertainment area. Plus, if you enjoy online

gaming, you can play downstairs in the comfort of your

living room, while taking advantage of your router and

high-speed Internet connection upstairs.
