I like these daily tips. I have even gone as far as making a daily tip folder!:)

You are simply using the existing wiring in your home to carry the data stream from a router or such device to another device plugged into an outlet in another area of the home. The devices used to transmit the signal thru the electrical wires are called bridges, and a typivcal setup would be as follows: computer A, is connected to a router by an ethernet cable. another cable is connected to the router and a network bridge, which is plugged into an electrical outlet. computer B, is connected to another bridge in another location, which is plugged into a standard electrical outlet. Data is transferred from one device to another using the house wiring instead of making long runs of ethernet cable. A person would have to research the technology to get more specific info. These days, wireless options are less expensive and easier to setup.
