Instant PowerLineTM Series

Chapter 3: Planning Your Powerline Network

With the Instant PowerLine products, a network can be created using home powerlines. Computers can be networked over powerlines using a PowerLine USB Adapter or an EtherFast 10/100 Bridge. Use the USB Adapter for a USB- enabled computer, or use the 10/100 Bridge for an Ethernet-enabled computer.

The PowerLine EtherFast 10/100 Bridge is also ideal for any user who already has a router and wants to share high-speed Internet access across the powerline network. (An example of such a network is shown in Figure 3-1.)
