Key Considerations - Powerline networks utilize the ordinary
electrical circuity of a residence to carry home network communications.
Available powerline equipment includes network routers, network bridges
and other adapters.
Optional Components - Not all devices on the home network must be
connected to a powerline router; hybrid networks with Ethernet or Wi-Fi
devices can be joined with the powerline network. For example, a Wi-Fi
powerline bridge can optionally be plugged into a wall outlet, enabling
wireless devices to connect to it and in turn to the rest of the
powerline network.
