Wi-Fi 和以太网(Ethernet)是连接到互联网的一些最常见的方式，但它们也有其缺点。虽然一个需要大量布线和预先规划，但另一个会产生很多死角。电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)为您家庭中现有的解决方案——电线提供了一个中间地带。这篇文章试图解释电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)，它是如何工作的，以及它的缺点。
什么是电力线以太网适配器？
电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)是一种使用您家中的电线传输互联网和其他通信信号的设备。有趣的是，互联网连接可以通过电线共享。硬件分两部分提供。
- 首先是主适配器，它使用(primary adaptor)以太网(Ethernet)线连接到路由器。此外，它直接插入您的主线。
- 然后是辅助适配器(secondary adaptor)，类似于无线热点或扩展器。与主适配器一样，它也直接插入电源插座。从辅助插座，您可以通过 wifi 或以太网(Ethernet)线连接设备。
电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)或插头(Plug Work)如何 工作？
这些适配器不是愚蠢的设备，而是相当智能。使用他们的智能算法，它可以找出所有连接的适配器，并发送数据或互联网，最终到连接的设备。它是一个完美的解决方案，可以在没有电线的情况下实现与家中每个房间的以太网连接。
以太网(Ethernet)适配器是否 与WiFi和以太网(Ethernet)一样快？
是的，也不是。根据标准，它们可以提供高达 100-200 MBPS的速度，这足以流式传输 4K 内容。但是，很大程度上取决于您房屋的布线。如果你的房子有多个阶段，那么速度会随着阶段的变化而变化。
在三相房屋中设置电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)时，最好准备电路图并将设备连接到技术接地，每相将是一个单独的网络，您必须将它们连接在一起。
电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)的优缺点
虽然它们看起来绝对值得一试，但它们也有一些你应该知道的缺点。
优点：
- 如果所有设备都来自同一制造商，则设置起来相当容易。
- 与以太网(Ethernet)连接一样稳定，比没有盲区热点的 WiFi 更好。
- 在您需要连接设备的任何地方轻松移动它们。
- 随着更多设备通过以太网(Ethernet)连接，减少了Wifi网络的负载(Wifi)
缺点：
- 如果你的房子里有多个阶段，设置起来很麻烦，因为强度会下降。
- 大多数适配器的尺寸都很大，这意味着它们可以占用两个插槽。
- 如果每个楼层的布线不同，则必须在一个网络下正确绘制电路图。
- 可能会受到其他设备的干扰，它们不能在辅助扩展板上使用。
一个电力线适配器(Powerline Adaptor)可以连接多少台设备？
您可以在路由器旁边使用一个适配器，然后在每台计算机旁边使用一个。这类似于您如何添加任意数量的扩展器来扩展您的Wifi适配器。
以太网适配器安全吗？我的邻居可以入侵它吗？
就像一个开放的网络可以被调和一样，如果你没有为你的电力线(Powerline) 适配器(Adaptors)设置用户名密码，任何插入你的电力线的人都将使用正确的设备访问互联网。
您可以使用多少个这些以太网适配器设备？
根据型号，您最多应连接两台设备，然后其余设备可以通过WiFi连接。
我希望这篇文章能够通过这种连接到互联网的新方式让您感到惊讶，并且您至少尝试了一下，看看它是如何在家里或办公室为您工作的。
What is Powerline Ethernet Adaptor? How it works? Pros and Cons
Wi-Fi and Ethernet are ѕome of the most common ways to connect to the internet, but they have their shortcomings. While оne neеds a lot of wiring аnd pre-planning, the other creates a lot of dead spots. Powerline Ethernet Adaptor offers a middle ground working on an existing solution in your Home—Electrical Wiring. This post attempts to explain Powerline Ethernet Adaptor, how it works, and the drawbacks.
What is Powerline Ethernet Adaptor?
A Powerline Ethernet Adaptor is a device that uses your home’s electric wiring to transmit internet & other communications signals. It is interesting to know that internet connection can be shared over electrical wiring. The hardware is offered in two parts.
- First is the primary adaptor, which connects to the router using Ethernet wire. Also, it is directly plugged into your mainline.
- Then comes the secondary adaptor, which is similar to wireless hotspots or extenders. Like the primary adaptor, it is also plugged directly into the electrical outlet. From the secondary outlet, you can connect the device over wifi or through the Ethernet wire.
How does a Powerline Ethernet Adaptor or Plug Work?
These adaptors are not dumb devices but are rather smart. Using their smart algorithm, it can figure out all the connected adaptors, and send data or internet, and eventually to connected devices. It makes a perfect solution to enable an ethernet connection to every room in your house without wires.
Are Ethernet Adaptors as fast as WiFi and Ethernet?
Yes, and No. According to standards, they can offer up to 100-200 MBPS speed, which is good enough to stream 4K content. However, a lot depends on the wiring of your house. If you have multiple phases in your house, then the speed will change as the phase changes.
When setting up Powerline Ethernet Adaptor in a three-phase house, it is best to prepare a circuit diagram and connect the device on technical ground, each phase will be a separate network, and you will have to bring them together.
Pros and Cons of Powerline Ethernet Adaptor
While they definitely look worth a try, they have their own set of drawbacks that you should know.
Pros:
- Fairly easy to set up if all the units are from the same manufacturer.
- As stable as the Ethernet connection and better than WiFi without blind hotspots.
- Easily move them around the house wherever you need to connect a device.
- Reduces load on the Wifi network as more devices are connected via Ethernet
Cons:
- It is cumbersome to set up if you have multiple phases in your house as the strength will drop.
- Most of the adaptors are large in size, which means they can take up two sockets.
- If you have different wiring for each floor, you will have to draw circuit diagrams under one network properly.
- There can be interferences from other devices, and they cannot be used over a secondary extension board.
How many devices can one connect to a single Powerline Adaptor?
You can use a single adapter next to the router and then one next to each computer. It is similar to how you can add any number of extenders to expand your Wifi adaptor.
Are Ethernet Adaptors secure? Can my neighbor hack into it?
Like how an open network can be tempered with, if you have not set up a username-password for your Powerline Adaptors, anyone who plugs into your powerlines will access the internet using the right set of devices.
How many of these Ethernet Adaptor devices can you use?
Depending on the model, you should connect up to two devices, and then the rest of the devices can be connected through WiFi.
I hope the post was able to surprise you with this new way of connecting to the internet, and you at least gave it a try and see how it works for you at home or office.
