How Ethernet Over Power Line Homeplugs Work

• Homeplugs provide a no new wires communications to any room, over the electricity cables, at the speed of up to 1Gbps
• A minimum of 2 homeplug adapters are needed
• One homeplug unit connects into the router via an ethernet cable and is plugged into an electric socket
• The broadband signal travels through the electrical cabling in the wall
• The second homeplug unit is plugged into an electric socket where the broadband connection is needed and an ethernet cable is run to the PC, printer etc.. which you wish to network
• Note: Either homeplug can be used as either a base or a receiver, they are completely interchangeable
• However, you will most likely want to use the WiFi power line extender in your remote location as a wireless hotspot
