Sharing Internet Access
Topic 6. Sharing Internet Access
So how can the Internet connection be shared among other computers on the HomePlug
network?
Since neither the HomePlug Bridge nor USB adapter are capable of routing at this time, a
router is necessary in order to share the Internet connection. Future versions of the
HomePlug Bridge or USB adapter may feature built-in routing capabilities.
The following items are required for successfully sharing the Internet connection:
• One (1) Router
• One (1) HomePlug Bridge
• One (1) DSL/Cable Modem
• Active ISP Service for the DSL/Cable Modem
• CAT5 Cables
