Powerline networks use existing home electrical wiring to send information between computers.
Speed
A Powerline network can transfer data at up to 200 Mbps.
For example, downloading a 10 megabyte (MB) photo from the Internet under optimal conditions can take less than a second on a Powerline network.
Pros
Powerline uses the existing electrical wiring in your home.
You don't need hubs or switches to connect more than two computers in a Powerline network.
Cons
You need an electrical outlet in each room where you want to have a computer.
Powerline networks can be affected by interference and "noise" on the line.
