Powerline Networking

One of several ways to connect the computers in your home. It uses the electrical wiring in your house to create a network.

Power-line networking is based on the concept of "no new wires." The convenience is even more obvious in this case because while not every room has a phone jack, you will always have an electrical outlet near a computer. In power-line networking, you connect your computers to one another through the same outlet.

Because it requires no new wiring, and the network adds no cost to your electric bill, power-line networking is the cheapest method of connecting computers in different rooms.

You plug an adaptor into the power and a network cable that plugs into that adaptor so the other end would plug into your switch or router. It will send the data through the electrical in your house.

• It's inexpensive.
• It uses existing electrical wiring.
• Every room of a typical house has several electrical outlets.
• It's easy to install.
• A printer, or any other device that doesn't need to be directly connected to a computer, doesn't have to be physically near any of the computers in the network.
• It doesn't require that a card be installed in the computer
