Chapter 1 – Introduction

1.1 Overview

HomePlug Powerline is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your network. In the

home or small office building, use HomePlug Ethernet Bridges to link multiple locations

without the need to run long Ethernet cables. Combined with a broadband DSL/Cable

connection, every room with electrical power outlets will have easy access to high-speed

Internet connection. With the HomePlug AV speed of up to 500Mbps, this easy-to-setup

solution can provide fast streaming HD movies, online multiplayer games, and other data

intensive activities for today’s HD Entertainment Center demand.
