Extend the Home

Network Coverage by

using Powerline Adapter

and Home Router

Background

These days, the Internet is an integral part of our lives. We use laptops,

cell phones or iPads to surf the Internet and communicate with our

friends via Facebook, Twitter etc. We can communicate from anywhere

in our house.

For good signal coverage in our houses, we would need to extend the

wireless signal or wired network. We often extend the range of the

network using a router of AP.

If the range is too large, we would have to lay out a significant amount

of RJ-45 cable. This may cause an inconvenience in our lives.

Now, if there is a house that has 3 floors, but only the ground floor has

the network. How can we reduce the cumbersome network wires

without affecting the range and quality of the network on al floors?

The following example demonstrates this scenario.
