HomePlug allows you to create a network using the standard electrical mains power lines in your home or workplace. The LINDY HomePlug Ethernet Bridge plugs into your computer’s Ethernet port and then into a mains socket. The computer data is converted into a signal that can be carried over the mains wiring without interfering with the ordinary current travelling through the wire.
