HomePlug: the partner to WiFi in your home
If you have a modem router or an Internet "box", your various pieces of network equipment, whether
connected by WiFi or HomePlug, can communicate with one another. All data is transferred to a central point,
in this case your modem router or Internet "box", and may circulate either on the electrical network via your
HomePlug adapters, or by way of radio waves via WiFi.
It is therefore perfectly possible for a computer or any other piece of network equipment connected via WiFi to
communicate with another piece of equipment connected via the HomePlug network to the modem router.

, you will find different examples of purely HomePlug networks. However, there is
nothing stopping you from adding WiFi devices as well: for example, an Internet "box" connected to the
HomePlug network on the one hand, and a WiFi laptop computer connected to this same "box" via WiFi, on
the other hand.
