![]() Now all you need is one of these Powerline networking adapters connected to your router, and another Powerline adapter connected to your desired device or computer with any short Ethernet cable to get up and running, best of all it's very easy to set up, even for beginners.ĭ-Link is a name we all should know and likely remember, it's a name that is linked to computer networking products of all kinds. Or let's say you wanted to have Internet in your garage. No longer will you have to run 100-FT (or longer) Ethernet cable down to various parts of your home that don't have Internet, or if there's a Wi-Fi dead zone in your home. It's called Powerline networking, sometimes known as Home Plug, and uses the electrical wiring in your house to create a wired network. Today I'll be sharing with you about a new way, a third way you can connect your computer and or Internet enabled device to the Internet. Homes aren't as small as they used to be, everything is larger and that means more distance between your wireless router and the computer or devices that requires Internet that happens to be sitting in the basement, or the second, third level of your home. What happens if to no avail you struggle to get solid wireless signal in your home? There are Wi-Fi dead zones in certain places. The opposite happens if too low of a wireless signal, overall speed suffers. The stronger your wireless signal, the faster you can download and or transfer files through your wireless network. There are various wireless routers on the market today, some come standard with 1-3 antennas to boost wireless range, heck if 3 antennas wasn't enough, there's a wireless router on the market with 6 antennas so that wireless range can be boosted! However, those are just too expensive. There are Wi-Fi dead zones in every place, there's only so far you can reach, distance is always the enemy. ![]() Reality is that there's a number of barriers that affect Wi-Fi range in our homes and businesses, for example, the materials inside our homes, cement walls. Wi-Fi signals don't come with infinite range, there's theoretical limits and there's reality. There's a problem with Wi-Fi though, we have all come across the issue at one time or the other, the issue of range. No one wants to be running 100-FT Ethernet cables to the next room in order to have Internet, I used to do that back in the day and it was both inconvenient and downright ugly. On the flip side with Wi-Fi, it's the convenience of no wires that attracts people to use a wireless router instead, so that we can connect to the Internet virtually anywhere our home with a Wi-Fi adapter. Those also streaming HD media through their network can also attest to wired connections offering the best speed and latencies, this means less buffering and less lag. We know that wired connections are the best in terms of overall speed and latencies, those who play online multiplayer games can attest to this, as they need lower ping rates (which wired connections provide) to have the smoothest online gaming experience. These two options are most prevalent in today's computing world, for both consumers and businesses. When it comes to ways one can connect their computers to the Internet, most people know of two ways one being through the standard wired LAN port, and the other wirelessly through a Wi-Fi router.
