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 300Mbps (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

Say for example, you were in a big building or a building with very thick walls( older houses especially), then you may not be able to get the wirelss signal in some areas

Possible applications include;

Multimedia payloads

TV over IP

Higher data rate broadband sharing

Online gaming

VOIP calls

Extending wireless LAN coverage

Audio / Video Transmission over a network

Network camera connectivity

Advantages

No need to run extra wires around your home or office

Just plugs into any standard electrical wall socketExtends the range of your wireless networkLow cost compared to getting contractor in to run extra cablesNo drilling of walls or need to run CAT5 cables throughout your home or officeVery reliable wireless homeplug extender from a leading manufacturer

Disadvantages

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

If you are capable of running the CAT5 cabling yourself, these can be more expensive

They are handy and work well but it is an additional cost to absorb
