Q: What is a Powerline Network?
A:
A Powerline Network uses electrical wires in your home or office to connect computers, routers, or
other network devices.
Q: How does a Powerline device communicate with other powerline devices?
A:
A Powerline device sends data along AC wires by using a frequency common to powerline devices
but different to other electrical appliances. Since a powerline device operates at a different
frequency, appliances such as your T.V. or microwave will not receive any interference, and your
powerline device will continue to communicate with other powerline devices at 14Mbps.
Q: What are the benefits of using Powerline networking products?
A:
All homes and offices have power outlets in almost every room. Since power outlets are
connected through electrical wiring, you can immediately network devices through AC wires
without purchasing extra cables, switches, or other networking hardware. Because of the growing
popularity of high-speed broadband technology, powerline devices present a cost-effective solution
to easily share an Internet connection or other network resources.
Q: What can I do with Powerline devices?
A:
You can transfer files between workstations such as, MP3s, videos, Word documents, or other
media. You can also share an Internet connection, printers, hard drives, or other network
resources.
Q: How can I get high-speed Internet access through Powerline devices?
A:
First you need a broadband connection (DSL or Cable) from your local ISP. Then you need to
have a router to share your Internet connection. Once you have these requirements, you can use
powerline devices to connect to the Internet.
