What is HomePlug 1.0?
HomePlug 1.0 is the specification for a technology that connects devices to each other through the power lines in a home. HomePlug-certified products connect PCs and other devices that use Ethernet, USB and 802.11 “Wi-Fi” technologies to the power line via a HomePlug “bridge” or “adapter” – some products even have HomePlug technology built-in. These products provide a simple solution for consumers interested in networking their home without adding any new wires.
