IntroductionElectric power line networking is a method of home networking which is capable of interconnecting computers in your home.It uses exiting AC wiring and power outlets to transmit data around a home or small office.It is based on the concept of no new wires.Electric power line networking avoids the need for putting PCs near a phone outlet.Instead computers and other devices are connected through electrical outlet.Thus power line networking provides a cost effective solution for home networking.

The TechnologyThe technology called powerpacket developed by company named intellon.This technology relies on frequency-shift keying (FSK) to send data back and forth over the electrical wires in your home.FSK uses two frequencies, one for I s and other for Os, to send digital information between the computer on the network.The frequencies used are in narrow band just above the level where most line noise occurs.

Once the physical connections are made , installation of software is snap.The software automatically detects all nodes (computers and printers) on the network.Whether your internet connection is by cable modem or normal modem, software allows you to share the internet with your other computer.You can easily add computers by simply plugging a new adapter in and installing software.
