Homeplugs/Powerlines, are generally purchased in pairs or kits. One wall socket is required for each unit.
Base unit: plugs into a wall socket near the router and ethernet/patch cable connects them. Remote units (access points): plug into a wall socket where you want to extend your WiFi network
These devices use your existing electrical cabling to transfer data – they can be very effective and reliable.
Up to four remote units can be connected to one base unit. Correct configuration required for seamless roaming – please ask us for help. Suitable if sockets are on different ring mains through the same consumer unit. Remote units have one or two LAN ports enabling cabled as well as wireless connections. Provide a discrete and flexible solution as the access points can be relocated to suit changing needs.
