![]() ![]() ![]() Because it doesn’t require any special equipment, testing a line for both integrity and connectivity is easier than other types of connections. Testing the power line to see if it has a connection is as easy as turning on the power.It is likely that each location where an Ethernet connection needs to be made, also has power. Electrical power runs throughout the home, which can make it easy to find locations where power line adapters can be used.With this type of connection data is passed between two adapters plugged into the same electrical circuit. A description of what is required to use each type of adapter, the benefits and drawbacks of each can be found below.Īlso called Ethernet over Power (EoP) adapters or power line communication (PLC), power line adapters pass communications over the electrical connections in the home. ![]() The two most common types of adapters are power line adapters and MoCA adapters. This will require additional equipment, however, the cost of these adapters is much lower than installing Ethernet cable. Existing wiring within the home can be used to run connections in parallel to existing services, such as electrical power. There are alternative methods that do not rely on Ethernet cable to create these connections. However, most homes do not have Ethernet connections in every room and adding it to an existing home can be costly. When a Wi-Fi signal is unable to reach areas in the home, adding additional Ethernet connected pods in these areas adds coverage. All pods can benefit from having an Ethernet connection to the gateway. ![]()
