PLEK500 Powerline Network Adapter
How Powerline networking works
Electrical wiring runs through your home or office, carrying power to electrical
outlets in every room. The typical wired Ethernet network uses Ethernet
network cables to connect your wired network devices. A Powerline network
uses your existing household wiring as the wiring for your Powerline network.
To create your Powerline network, use two or more Powerline adapters. Each
device on your Powerline network requires a connection to a Powerline adapter.
The PLE500 has one Ethernet port. One of these devices is typically used
in a Powerline network to connect your network’s wireless router to the
household wiring. You can also use one of these in any room to connect
one wired Ethernet device to your Powerline network.
When adding a Powerline network to an existing network, the connections
between the Internet, modem, and router stay the same.
Example installation
This diagram shows a basic Powerline network in a house. The router upstairs
is connected to a Powerline adapter, which is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Downstairs, the computer is connected to a Powerline adapter, which is
plugged into an electrical outlet.
Using the household wiring of the home, the router expands the local network
to include the gaming console and desktop computer in the living room.
Internet access, files, and printers can be shared between the computers and
other networked devices. For online gaming, you can play downstairs in the
comfort of your living room, while using the high-speed Internet connection
of the router and modem upstairs.
