How the Powerline AV 500 Access Point Fits in Your
Network
You can use one or more Powerline 500 WiFi Access Points to extend your home network
anywhere in your house using your electrical power lines.
A Powerline network consists of two or more compatible Powerline devices that communicate
with each other. 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). That way
each Powerline device can communicate with the router and use its Internet connection.
