What is HomePlug?

HomePlug is a new networking technology that uses the existing power lines in

a home to connect devices such as computers, print servers, etc., eliminating the

need for installing new wiring when a device is added to the network. Today’s

HomePlug products are mainly adapter-type devices which plug into existing

Ethernet networks, but more and more devices are being designed with HomePlug

technology built-in. This means, in the near future, plugging in a device into an

electrical outlet will not only power it, but also allow it to communicate with other

HomePlug devices.
