One of the major drawbacks in setting up home network is the absence of required wiring inside the
house to interconnect networked computers. In recent years several technologies have attempted to
address the issue. The most prominent technology so far is the family of WIFI (802.11X) products
Recently, however, another technology called HomePlug has come forth. It uses electrical grids, already
available inside walls to transmit data from computer to computer. HomePlug technology modulates
computer data in a way to enable them use power grid as a medium of transmission from point to point.
Using this technology, two computers have a virtual Ethernet connection without the need to be
physically connected to each other.
