How It Works
- The homeplug ethernet adapter provides no new wires communications to any room, over the electricity cables, at the speed of up to 500Mbps.
- 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 2nd homeplug unit is plugged into an electric socket where the broadband connection is needed and an ethernet cable is run to the PC, Printer or other networked device which you wish to network
- Note: Any homeplug can be used as either a base or a receiver, they are interchangeable
Uses
- The main uses of these homeplugs are where you would like to have an extra wired connection in another room of your home or office.
- To extend the range of your wireless system e.g. say 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 wireless 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
- Built in Quality of Service (QOS) features
- No need to run extra wires around your home or office
- Just plugs into any standard electrical wall socket
- Can extend the range of your wireless network
- Low cost compared to getting contractor in to run extra cables
- No drilling of walls or need to run CAT5 cables throughout your home or office
- Very reliable homeplug units from a leading manufacturer
- Easy to add on addition units
- Compatible with other manufacturers that meet the official homeplug standards
- Plug through design so means you don’t actually lose an electrical socket by using these homeplugs
Disadvantages
- You need two units minimum to create the network
- If you are capable of running the CAT5 cabling yourself, these can be more expensive
- May not work well when used with trailing sockets, always best to plug any homeplugs directly into wall mains socket
