How the WiFi Extender Fits into Your Network
You can use one or more WiFi extenders to extend wireless and wired Internet access
throughout your home.
A Powerline network consists of two or more compatible Powerline devices that communicate
with each other using your electrical power lines. One of the Powerline devices is connected
with an Ethernet cable to your router so that the Powerline network is linked to your local area
network (LAN). Connecting one Powerline device to your router allows all the Powerline
devices on the Powerline network to communicate with the router and use its Internet
connection.
If your home network includes a wireless router or gateway, you can use the WiFi extender to
extend the coverage of your existing wireless network or to create a second wireless
network. If you have a wired router or gateway, the WiFi extender can use your wired Internet
connection to create a wireless network in your home.
