Topic 6. Sharing Internet Access

So how can the Internet connection be shared among other computers on the HomePlug network?

Since neither the HomePlug Bridge nor USB Adapter are capable of routing at this time, a router is
necessary in order to share an Internet connection. Future versions of the HomePlug Bridge or USB
Adapter may feature built-in routing capabilities.

The following items are required for successfully sharing the Internet connection:

One (1) Router
One (1) HomePlug Bridge
One (1) DSL/Cable Modem
Active ISP Service for the DSL/Cable Modem
CAT5 Cables
Also all computers that share the Internet connection must be connected to a HomePlug to

USB Adapter or a HomePlug Bridge.
