4.What is the difference between bridge mode and node mode in the HomePlug Ethernet Bridge (GHPB21)?

Bridge mode operates without software installation and can work with any 10/100Base-T or 10Base-T Ethernet connections. By connecting the bridge to a router, switch, or Ethernet based device (XBOX, PlayStation, Web Tablet, PocketPC, Computer, etc.), you will be able to make these devices bridge onto the HomePlug network.

Node mode operates by connecting the HomePlug USB adapter (GHPU21) or Ethernet bridge (GHPB21) to one computer (ONLY) and installing drivers onto the computer, allowing it to set the device into Node Mode. The advantage with Node Mode operation is there is no limitation to the number of nodes that can operate on a HomePlug network.
