Home Computer Network, wired and wireless computer network with TPL-401E2K Powerline AV Ethernet adapter.
Running backbone cables between the floors in a two or more storey building is complicated in some cases. Drilling the holes, opening the ceilings and running the backbone cables are lots of works to do. Providing wireless access point frequently not much help with the low signal strength and dead zones at the farthest corner of the building. The other solution you can consider is deploying Powerline AV adapters for building wide network through existing electrical wiring / power outlets. TPL-401E2K is a high speed Powerline adapter you can consider for your multi-floor building.
When you build a computer networking in multi-floor building, generally the broadband internet connection starts at the first floor and you locate the modem / router somewhere at the first floor too. In the first floor there are a couple of computers or more connect directly to the router using wired connection. What about computers or mobile devices in the farthest corner of the building? Install the first TPL-401E2K Powerline adapter in the first floor and connect to the router. With this way, all the power outlets are now ready for building wide network as long as they are at the same circuit breaker system.
On the second floor building, you can install the second Powerline adapter to host a wireless access point. The wireless access point provides wireless access to the wireless clients including computers with Wi-Fi enabled, smart-phone, iPad etc.
