How It Works
- The wireless homeplug extender provides no new wires communications to any room, over the electric cables, at the speed of up to 200Mbps (wired) or 300Mbps (wireless).
- A minimum of 2 homeplug adaptors 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 (wireless) unit is plugged into an electric socket where the broadband connection is needed and starts transmitting wirelessly from that
- location
- It can also be connected via an ethernet cable at this point
Uses
- The main uses of these homeplugs are where you would like to extend the range of your wireless network

- Possible applications include;
- Multimedia payloads
- TV over IP
- Higher data rate broadband sharing
- Online gaming
- VOIP calls
- Extending wireless LAN coverage

- Network camera connectivity
Advantages

- No drilling of walls or need to run CAT5 cables throughout your home or office

Disadvantages
- You need two units to create the network, 1x Ethernet homeplug unit and 1x wireless homeplug extender
