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 PLE400 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.
•• The PLS400 has four Ethernet ports. Use one of these devices in any room of your house to connect up to four wired Ethernet devices to your Powerline network.
When adding a Powerline network to an existing network, the connections between the Internet, modem, and router stay the same.
