Default Setting up a powerline network

Cat 5/6 is a lot more secure and also less prone to failure.

Slightly more difficult to just grab the tablet or phone and google
something whilst sprawled in front of the telly, though.


How does Homeplug do that?

(Some) homeplugs have wireless output as well as CAT5 sockets.


They do, and I have one. One possible use is to extend coverage to
somewhere that an ADSL router's built-in wifi doesn't reach very well.

(I haven't used separate (non-wifi) ADSL routers plus wifi hotspots for
about ten years now).
