1. Cable line goes into the Modem,
2. an ethernet line goes from the Modem to the Router (a router is required to use the adapter),
3. an ethernet line then goes from the Router to the Adapter,
4. a SECOND Adapter is placed in another room in the house (it must be on the SAME CIRCUIT),
5. from that Adapter (which comes in 1 or 4 port versions) an ethernet line goes out to whatever needs it.
There is NO software required to use the Adapter, it is simply plug and play, also there is not a note-worthy difference in connection speed through the Adapters. I have tested the Adapter with two different routers, one very old; one brand new, both work perfectly.
I use my Netgear Adapters to get internet to my PC and Xbox 360 that are in a seperate room than the Router and Modem (they are on the SAME CIRCUIT, this is important to remember).
These Adapters (and remember you do need TWO Adapters in total, you could use three if they were all on the same circuit) are a great way to get the internet through out your house without having to wireless (while that may not be important for some people [none gamers] it is for those like me who need a faster connection speed).
Powerline AV Enet Adapter Kit
I recently installed some powerline adapters from another company called Plaster Networks. They have a really nice solution that lets you see the performance of the powerline network instantly. Knowing the performance of the network is really useful because every home is different - depending on the size of your house, how old the wiring is, what you have plugged in, etc.
