[aarong9224]

what are homeplugs sorry im a bi of a noob :/

 

[Corfate]

They send your internet signal round your house via the house mains They allow you to plug an Ethernet cable into your pc from the wall plug

 

[aarong9224]

oh so they are like a two way reciver so i could plug in 1 beside my desk and one beside my router and it would connect

It's basically a wired ethernet connection through your domestic wiring,
plug one homeplug in to a socket next to your router then connect an ethernet cable from the homeplug to your router,
plug the other homeplug in to a socket next to your PC & connect an ethernet cable from it to your PC

I would think so,as long as you have a wireless router but I cant guarantee it.
