(((Jann Gobble)))🏳️‍🌈<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.ncot.uk/@james" class="u-url mention">@<span>james</span></a></span> There is a standard for ethernet over powerline. It&#39;s called <a href="https://twit.social/tags/Powerline" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Powerline</span></a> or <a href="https://twit.social/tags/HomePlug" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HomePlug</span></a> <a href="https://twit.social/tags/AV2" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AV2</span></a>. Also, the reason they use data-over-powerline is that it removes one level of complexity. The devices no longer need a <a href="https://twit.social/tags/wifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wifi</span></a> adapter to work. For instance, in the <a href="https://twit.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>US</span></a> some cable routers (<a href="https://twit.social/tags/COAX" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COAX</span></a> into the home, then <a href="https://twit.social/tags/ethernet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ethernet</span></a> to the wifi <a href="https://twit.social/tags/adapter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adapter</span></a>) also provide that ethernet over <a href="https://twit.social/tags/Powerline" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Powerline</span></a>.</p><p>If the wifi adapter dies or breaks, the internet is still available to <a href="https://twit.social/tags/Powerline" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Powerline</span></a> devices.</p>
