Powerline Adapter in a Home Network
You can use Powerline AV Ethernet Adapters to extend your Ethernet network
anywhere in your home using your existing electrical power lines.

For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline devices
(to make a Powerline network, you need at least two Powerline devices):
Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid someone
unknowingly turning off the power to the outlet.
Do not plug in Powerline products to a power strip, extension cord, or surge
protector as this might prevent them from working correctly, or reduce the network
performance.
Avoid plugging Powerline products into electrical outlets located near an appliance
that uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a refrigerator. This could
potentially prevent the adapters from working correctly, or reduce network
performance.
Here, an Ethernet cable connects the router to the
Powerlline network.
In another room, an Ethernet cable
connects a computer to the Powerlline
network.
