POWERLINE-BASED NETWORKING: Overview
Power-line networking is one of several ways to connect the various computers and other devices in your home. It uses the electrical wiring in your house to create a network. Power-line networking is based on the concept of "no new wires." The convenience is even more obvious in this case because you will always have an electrical outlet near a computer.

In power-line networking, you connect your computers to one another through the same outlet. Because it requires no new wiring, and the network adds no cost to your electric bill, power-line networking is the cheapest method of connecting computers in different rooms.
